Style guide
Feature Essay — separate paragraphs with a blank line. Attach a photo if you have one.
Photo Spread — the photo is the star; your text becomes the caption.
Tabloid Blurb — short, shameless, loud. Sources say everything.
Listicle — one item per line; we number them for you.
Interview — start lines with Q: and A:.
Authors can edit or spike their own stories after filing. The editor-in-chief can spike anything, so behave (a little).
