The Spotlight

Purpose

This format builds the entire carousel around a single person, achievement, or milestone. Instead of covering everything in the source content, it goes deep on one thing. The heart of the format is the spotlight statement: a single bold line that captures the full significance of the story before the details arrive.

Structure

  • The carousel opens with a headline framing the story around the person or achievement.

  • A spotlight statement captures the significance in one bold line.

  • Two slides provide the substance and context.

  • The carousel closes with a call to action.

Best used when

  • There is a compelling person or accomplishment at the center of the news

  • The content would benefit from a narrative focus rather than a factual overview

  • The carousel is likely to be shared by the person being spotlighted
