Definitions

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." (BPL 10 Jan 73R)
