Editorial focus

Keep scene details inside the spoiler section.

Begin with the context

Explain who this story is for and the question it answers. Include the details a new reader needs, and distinguish your own observations from material supplied by another source.

Use the opening section to describe the tone, craft and intended audience without revealing major story details.

Continue to the spoiler discussion

Place plot-specific observations here. Readers choose whether to open this section, and no script is required.

Make the useful part easy to find

The reference section below is deliberately structured for scanning, keyboard use and printing. Edit the labels and details to fit the real story rather than retaining irrelevant example fields.

Leave the reader with a next step

Link to a relevant topic, a dated source or a related story. Give collaborators proper credit and keep private or unverified information out of a public demonstration.

Behind the frame

Look at the story differently.

A visual study of cameras, craft and the people behind the image.

Illustrative photography, not evidence of the sample project, recipe or reported event.
