Requirements of an Article
Each article needs to have the following parts:
- A lead
- A biography
- subheadings (Zwischentitel), but not at the beginning (except when it is a list)
- for interviews: write a short introduction next to the lead before starting the interview
Photos
Pictures catch the eye of the reader. If you do not have any, you can also give ideas on what you were looking for and we will search for stock images or similar.
If you bring your own images, make sure to also include a caption, and if necessary, a source.
Fact Sheets
The fact sheets contain guidance on how we write numbers, dates, etc. It is important, that you follow them to allow for consistency across the articles
