every story written for newspaper
use must have a name. This is called a slug. Generally it is one
word, usually the
key word that describes the story. Thus, a
student riot could be slugged "Riot," a
heat wave "
Heat," an airplane accident "
Plane." Where there are several stories, all related, two words are generally needed: "
Plane -Accident," "Car Accident."
