What you're getting

An editorial system with a real news hierarchy

This 10-slide Google Slides newspaper template includes a lead story, editorial statement, news briefs, business and culture features, sports coverage, an opinion page, a weekly calendar, and a photo essay. Each layout has a distinct editorial job instead of repeating the same columns under different headlines.

The Riverside stories are illustrative, but the hierarchy is ready to use. Keep the masthead, bylines, dates, captions, and section logic consistent while replacing every article, quote, image, and source with material you have verified.
