Field Notes No. 61: The city that learned to read its own water
Preheader
Ashport replaced estimated bills with hourly reads. What it found underneath was less a leak problem than an accounting one.
Make it fit the send.
- The story is two lists of paragraphs, before and after the pull quote, so a short piece and a long one render from the same source. Supply the desk, dateline, title, standfirst, byline, reading time and the lead graphic with its caption and alt text.
- The sponsor is optional and always carries its sponsored-by label. The default fixture includes one and long-content leaves it out, so one template covers an issue with a placement and one without. The reading list is a list of source, title and link.
- It is written for Kestrel, a fictional newsroom. Replace its mark, the author portrait and the graphic with your own, and edit the closing ask for readers. Every color is a theme token set in starter.css.
