What a finished news brief looks like

Write two or three sentences in your own words — never copy the original article. Say clearly what happened, then explain why it matters to students at Lumen. Always finish by crediting the source, so readers can go and read the full story for themselves.

  3. Copy the block below and paste it just after a brief card already in that section.
