Pitch story ideas to the editor. Some get a yes, some get cut.
Comb through court files and budget documents for a hidden detail.

A worried employee wants to talk. Decide whether to promise protection.
Take notes, grab quotes, and shoot video of a heated vote.
Draft fast. Rewrite the top three times before the editor sees it.
Verify every name, number, and quote. Hold anything unconfirmed.
Edit with the editor, hit publish, and post clips on social media.
- Interview sources in person and by phone to get the real story.
- Hunt down story ideas and pitch them to your editor.
- Dig through public records, court files, and documents for hidden facts.
- Check every name, number, and claim before anything gets published.
- Write and rewrite stories fast to beat a tight deadline.
- Is this story solid enough to publish now, or do I hold it to confirm more?
- Can I trust this source, or do they have an agenda?
- Should I promise this person anonymity, or push them to go on the record?
- Is this detail newsworthy, or would it just hurt someone for no good reason?
