Volume 1: Basic techniques In the first volume of ‘The News Manual’ we concentrate on the basic skills of journalism.

In the middle chapters we give guidance on writing styles for journalism and the correct ways of presenting what you have written. We also discuss some useful books and other resources for journalists.
Google URL Shortener Posted by Michael Hermanto, Software Engineer, Firebase We launched the Google URL Shortener back in 2009 as a way to help people more easily share links and measure traffic online. Since then, many popular URL shortening services have emerged and the ways people find content on the Internet have also changed dramatically, from primarily desktop webpages to apps, mobile devices, home assistants, and more. To refocus our efforts, we're turning down support for goo.gl over the coming weeks and replacing it with Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL). FDLs are smart URLs that allow you to send existing and potential users to any location within an iOS, Android or web app. We're excited to grow and improve the product going forward.

The script assumes you use Apple's prescribed high-resolution modifier (@2x) to denote high-resolution image variants on your server. For example, if you have an image on your page that looks like this: <img src="/images/my_image.png" /> The script will check your server to see if an alternative image exists at this path: "/images/my_image@2x.png"
