NO PICTURE, NO PROBLEM: THE WORD ON THE STREET

Sometimes the words are enough.

Not every story needs a photograph. Some of the best ones we have ever run did not have one.

It might be a long piece of writing from an author we trust, or a report on something nobody could photograph. A letter, a memory, a rumour that was never confirmed. In those cases the words have to do the work.

That is why this page is set up differently. There is no large picture to look at, so the headline gets more room, the standfirst moves up and the reader can get straight to the story.

If you use this template, write with care. A story without a picture is only as good as its first line.

This one finished here.
