Also, if you are a webmaster, you can display the latest SevenTimes.Ro headlines on your own site using RSS, ATOM, or OPML feeds.
Please make sure you read the following points before sending us texts for publication. These guidelines are just conventions, not rules of correctness; they are meant to ensure SevenTimes.Ro a consistent and appropriate style of expression.
be constructive, yet balanced and impartial
if your news is based on information from other websites, always include a link to the original article(s), even if they are in other languages than English
use short phrases
prefer the active voice
news should have 200 to 600 words
use British instead of American spelling: Organised, not organized; theatre, not theater
always place a comma before and in an enumeration (the same with or)
use single, instead of double, quotation marks ('x', not "x")
always start with a capital after a colon: Old appartments: Lower prices
do not capitalise all the words of the headline, only the first word and the proper nouns
the way to write dates: 19th October, 2008
mention the full date at least one time in the text (Wednesday, 19th October, 2008); Don't just say Wednesday, because the article might be read one month later
always use the euro currency first (you can give other currencies too, such as lei, within brackets); you can use convertor.ro
never use the old lei currency; it's dead
never use currency acronyms, such as RON, ROL, USD, EUR;
put the currency before the number: € 15, or lei 1,000
in a headline, never use the €, $, or % signs; write euro, dollar, and pc instead
write large numbers as 1.6 M or 4 Bn (not 1.6 millions nor 4 billions)
when giving names of people, make sure you mention their full name at least once in your text (Cristian Nedea); you can also refer to them by their surname only, but please make sure you say Mr, Mrs, or Ms in that case (Mr Nedea added...)
preferable, but not a rule: First give the title, then the name of the person (no comma needed beween title and name): Farmec's marketing specialist Mariana Sinitaru said... vice-versa is also okay, but enclose the title beween commas: Mariana Sinitaru, marketing manager with Farmec, said...
remember that you write for an audience that is mostly uninformed on the people and places you're writing about, so always mention extra information to help them grasp the matter
always mention where a city/area is located, preferably in relation to Transylvania: Cluj city, central Transylvania
never use the Romanian-specific characters ş, ţ, ă, î, â; write Romanian names using s, t, a, i, a
it is ok to use Hungarian accented vowels (such as é) if they are included in the ASCII code
always give extra details about people and organisations: don't say UDMR, but Hungarian minority's main party UDMR; don't say PSD leader resigns, but social-democrat leader resigns
write numbers as two, five, nine if they are below 10, and use digits for larger numbers: 15, 245, 5.200
