Give the editor one strong place to start
If you want to report on how a city works, open with the clip that shows you can do it. Nico’s bus story begins at a transfer after a late shift. A short note explains why he made the trip himself and checked what happened against the timetable.
Make your range easy to scan
For Nico, transit, housing and public space are three ways into the same beat. An editor filling a specific slot can go straight to the clips. An editor weighing an investigation can start with the dossier and look at what each source establishes.
Choose what a source note can disclose
Share public records and published links where you can. Keep the details of sensitive sources, private notes and recordings in your own working material. Eigenstory’s source notebook shows how a quotation can keep its permission note and source attached while you work.
