In all articles, treatment must be objective and in-depth, and each major point should be substantiated by illustrative examples and quotes from expert sources. Authors are required to base their stories on interviews and research rather than on personal insights and experiences, and serious articles should avoid intrusions of writers' views. Single-source articles and essays are quickly rejected. Writing style should be smooth, personable, and to the point, with strong narration, anecdotes, and use of descriptive detail where appropriate. An article's lead must be strong, capturing the readers' attention and setting the tone of the piece.
