LFP cloning 2

By popular demand, more of the Sun Media broadsheet page flow and PDF guidelines:

Local News pages
• Pages should be 100% local copy.

• Local news/turns from the front page.

• At least one story on each locally generated page should have a standard online throw.

Comment page
• Standard PDF from Sun Media.

• Local letters (if any) should conform to LFP style. Template that includes standard throw asking for reader input will be made available.

• Local column (if any) should always match our style guide.

Local Forum pages
• Pages should be 100% local copy.

• Local letters (if any) should conform to LFP style. Standard throw asking for reader input should be used.

• Local columns (if any) should always match our style guide.

National News pages
• National News pages, build (sic) exclusively with Sun Media content, always take precedent over World News, but should never run at the expense of local news.

• Any combination of Local/national and world content should never appear on the same page (See right).

• Standard PDF from Sun Media, this page should never be broken apart if it can run in its entirety.

• National PDF can be divided by halves and used over two pages.

• If a page has a quarter-page ad on it, use the full PDF minus the ad space. These pages are designed for exactly this purpose.

World News pages
• World News Pages should never run at the expense of local or national news.

• Any combination of Local/national and world content should never appear on the same page.

• Standard PDF from Sun Media, this PDF should never be broken apart if it can run in its entirety.

• World News PDF can be divided by halves and used over two pages.

• If a page has a quarter-page ad on it, use the full PDF minus the ad space. These pages are designed for exactly this purpose.

More to come in this journalism-by-numbers series.
