Article Rejected: Insufficient News Value
REJECTION REASON: This article describes a planned project with no verifiable news value for publication on June 12, 2026.
CRITICAL ISSUES:
1. Stale timing: The source material references a project set to begin "soon" and finish "at the end of September" with no publication date provided. Without knowing when the source was written, this event has either already occurred or the timeline is obsolete.
2. No completion information: The source provides no outcomes, results, completion status, or follow-up reporting on what actually happened at Coleman Middle School's stormwater bioswale restoration project.
3. Missing essential facts: No specific start date is provided. No person responsible for the project is named. No quotes from school or city officials are included.
RECOMMENDATION: Contact Coleman Middle School or Duluth Public Works to determine: (a) whether the project was completed; (b) what the results were; (c) who oversaw it. If the project finished, report on outcomes. If it's ongoing or delayed, report on current status with named sources. A news article requires current information or a resolved outcome—not a description of intentions.
