Publishing Guidelines Your paper is to contain specific types of articles, which are to report on aspects of life in the decade 1919-1929. The newspaper should be aligned portrait-style, broken into 3 or 4 columns Your choice as to how many columns – just make sure that they’re uniform throughout, and of a font size that can be read without being so large as to limit you to 1-2 words per line Of particular importance to all articles are the datelines and bylines – ensure yours matches the subject of your articles. Every item must include its own dateline, as well as a byline Your articles must be completed on the page for which they were assigned – no "continued on page 3s." Use of captioned, credited images is encouraged, but not at the expense of informative articles All images must be credited with Turabian footnote-style citations and captioned by your group In other words, don’t try to skimp on content by supersizing something you downloaded from the internet
