Steps
- Use a sharp hero photo at least 1,200 px wide for every story. The editor warns you when it is smaller.
- Keep a wide 16:9 crop of the hero. Faces and the subject stay inside the crop.
- Write honest headlines that match the story. Avoid clickbait.
- Show who wrote the story and keep your About, Ethics and Corrections pages published.
Good to know
- Pages already allow large image previews, so no extra setup is needed.
