Captions/cutlines
I fixed/added a couple links on writing captions/cutlines under the "Other Resources."
I have a bad habit of using these terms interchangeably, but technically cutlines are what we will be writing. Captions are the short descriptions that are sometimes above the photo, especially when the photo is run without a story. A lot of photos don't have captions in newspapers, but they almost all have cutlines.
But if I say caption, assume I'm talking about cutlines. I think our book calls them captions, I'll have to double check.
