Digest Coverage Standards
Digest articles should be concise but not careless. Short-form coverage must still preserve dates, names, places, source clarity, uncertainty, and links to fuller context. A digest item should never make a complex issue sound simpler than it is merely to save space.
The Digest Section exists to help readers stay oriented. Its purpose is to summarize responsibly, guide attention, and give readers useful entry points into larger stories.
