Playing around is the best way to find out what works.
150-200 words seems awfully short for a meaningful article. Would be fine for announcing a community BBQ or HS swim meet. Have to see what happens when a longer article is inserted.
If that format is selected, we can also solicit short pieces from writers.
Editors can also trim down longer articles into excerpts or abstracts.
