# Long-form newsletter

URL: https://samva.dev/templates/editorial-newsletter

Publish one reported story with a headline, standfirst and byline, a captioned lead graphic, a pull quote, an optional sponsor and a reading list.

## Guidance

- 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.
