Reporter Question: Download Reporter PDF
Tell me how much time will you need to produce the story, and how much space/time do you think the story deserves?
Answer:
As an editor, I think it’s important to talk about the scope of a story before much of the reporting gets under way. I don’t want to be rigid about it -- we can increase or decrease the scope depending on what the reporter finds out. But it’s important for the reporter and editor to agree on the story’s ambitions at the beginning, and then adjust as the reporting progresses.
