All, below is the writers guide. Ken has been a huge help, with his writing experience and brainstorming ideas. Please provide any feedback and suggestions.

Summary
DCEBrief is not a news aggregator that merely reports dry facts, but instead provides an analysis of news and facts as it relates to digital currency, explaining why certain news and trends are important to the industry.

DCEBrief always looks at the positive aspects of a story and does not believe in negative media or attention as a means of gaining readership.

DCEBrief has no interest in attacking governments, banks, or others whose cooperation will be essential at some level if digital currency is to succeed. While it is perfectly acceptable to question those entity's policies with respect to digital currency, the tone of that criticism should be one of respectful disagreement wherever possible.

Every news story should be able to address one of several relevant issues:
How this topic positively impacts digital currency
How this topic promotes or otherwise furthers public acceptance of digital currency
How this topic promotes public awareness of digital currency
How this topic promotes usability of digital currency

Key Beliefs that DCEBrief articles should not go against:
DCEBrief is respectful of all individuals and groups, their ideas, and projects.
Digital currency will play an important role in our future and is a benefit to mankind.
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology that will forever change the way data is stored.
Digital currency is a new paradigm, it requires a new perspective that is not strictly adhering to existing social economic systems and theories.
Healthy regulation designed to protect consumers with minimal impact on technology and innovation is ideal.

Common misnomers to avoid:
Digital currency is not a good vehicle for nor does it promote criminal activity, such as money laundering and illegal purchases, all digital currency transactions leave a trail that can be followed. It is used by criminals, just as any other currency, because it is not directly tied to a financial services account.
Digital currency transactions do not identify individuals on the blockchain. "Accounts at a money service business or financial institution can certainly be linked to identity, but the individual coins (or coin subunits) themselves cannot be."
Digital currency theft has not been the result of an inherent technology flaw. The thefts or hacks have been the result of improper management of the currency.

Keywords to use in articles:
Digital currency
Bitcoin
Cryptocurrency

I think you've done a wonderful job with that overview. It will be very useful for ensuring that we all stay within the bounds of DCEBrief's editorial vision. Take a bow!
