Bites vs Interview

Bites - quick question or two Interview - full fledged

Use quotes, don't manipulate

<700 words = article; otherwise feature

Pictures -> only relevant ones, not compulsory; Press Council of India has laws. Crime related will have lesser / no photos

Value of news story
Authenticity
Don't mislead, misquote or manipulate
Byline is important (name of the reporter) | subeditor edits the article but doesn't get byline credits
5Ws and H; bites, conclusion
subeditors translate, fix grammatical errors, proofread, layout, ads, images, and conclusiom

subeditors are the backbone of the newspaper
