Here is a link to the KC Star's style sheet. I read it from time to time to remind myself how to write.

My understanding is that newspaper articles are written such that people with an eighth grade education can understand them.

I'm thinking that in order to fully understand the implications of what is going on in North Korea, China, and the surrounding area that much more should be expected of the reader.

They still made at least one mistake:

‘None saw him except me,” not “none saw him but me.”’

It really should be “None saw him except I”, because that is proper subject-object composition. You would not say “Me saw him”, if you were to state the sentence slightly differently, you would say “I saw him”.
