Headline (Sentence case)
DATELINE CITY, Dateline country – First paragraph begins …
Story
By Your Name
Photo credit His Name (when there is a photo that needs credit)
—
Your dateline is important any time the news takes place in the country you are in. We may remove it sometimes during editing, but always include it when the news happens in your country so we have the option.
“Sentence case” involves capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns.
When sending a photo and writing a line of credit for the photo do not write commas or periods. Do not write:
Photo credit: ewn.co.za
Instead, do write:
Photo credit ewn co za
(Periods and commas cause problems in saving images)
