These are real renders from the API with the example values in the table below. Switch the size above: the same template lays itself out for all 6 sizes — send size or sizes with the request.
For news sites, local papers, newsletters and internal announcements that publish an alert per article. A long headline shrinks to fit, the location and the time end in an ellipsis, and without a photo the image area becomes a hatched wire pattern with the kicker word in outline. Wide frames put the photo on the right and the text on newsprint beside it; square and vertical frames put the photo on top with the kicker tab straddling its bottom edge.
Fields
Every field is optional. Long text shrinks to fit instead of overflowing; an image field takes a public URL that we fetch on our side.

For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.
