Nora
I tried the headline Library closes and phones are banned. It would get attention, but both claims misrepresent what our sources actually said. I am not using it.
Leah
Try Quiet reading room trial: what is really changing? It tells people the topic without treating an unconfirmed claim as a fact. It also leaves room for a balanced report.
Rafi
The pupil I interviewed said she liked talking with friends over lunch. She was not against reading. We should not describe her as someone who hates books.
Ada
Exactly. Include her comment, then explain the silent room as one extra choice. The main library stays open. Our job is to help listeners understand the options, not pick a winner.
Nora
Now the report sounds fairer. I was embarrassed by my first headline, but I am glad we challenged it before publishing. A correction in the edit is better than a false claim spreading.
