Fit

What it suits and where it falls short

You type

Label, photo and headline in one post for urgent updates

Best for: Urgent updates that need a label the reader sees first.

Works well for

  • Breaking and developing news
  • Weather and traffic alerts
  • Match results and transfer news
  • Announcements from a local page

Watch out for

  • The label holds up to 18 characters.
  • The photo fills only the top part of the post, so wide shots work better than tall portraits.
  • A page that labels every post BREAKING teaches readers to ignore the label.
  • At 4:5, headlines over about 65 characters get smaller; at 200 characters the text is about two thirds of its full size.
