+9. Many-to-many relationships via an intermediary table
+
+For many-to-many relationships that need extra fields on the intermediary
+table, use an intermediary model.
+
+In this example, an ``Article`` can have multiple ``Reporter`` objects, and
+each ``Article``-``Reporter`` combination (a ``Writer``) has a ``position``
+field, which specifies the ``Reporter``'s position for the given article
+(e.g. "Staff writer").
+"""
