  • How to Write the Articles
    • Always write to the templates.
      • Deposit a fresh template folder, named for the "publishing date" of the HSTV newscast.
    • If you need more than twelve articles, create and number as needed. If you need less, delete ALL of the remaining blank templates so the HSTV news crew will see exactly what they have to do.
    • PROOFREAD each other's work. If I find errors, it shows the group didn't care.

  • The Inverted Pyramid
    • It's always different, depending on the story. Which W or H is most important to this story? Which one follows? Then what? The idea is an editor (Mr. Janes) should be able to cut the story down to fit the paper as he sees fit and he can start at the bottom and work his way up. No story should ever be ruined  by this backward editing process - It should always "work" as a story. Even if only the first W or H is all that is left, it still should tell the summary of the story or what readers really need to know.

Did Kermit cover all the Ws and H?
