   3. Replace __HEADLINE__ with the news item's headline like 'Awesome New Feature'
      Be sure to follow the CORRECT STYLE for the headline: 
         - capitalize first letter of headline - no other caps except for proper nouns and acronyms
         - check that headline char count doesn't exceed the line length (otherwise will truncate)
         - approx 50 characters
   4. Drop the bottom item from the list (limit of 3 items at a time)
