Sample: Turning a reader’s question into a local story

Some of the best local stories begin as a simple question from a reader: why is this road closed, who pays for this sign?

From question to story

  • Ask the reader for details and permission to quote them.
  • Find the person or office that can answer.
  • Publish the answer, even when it is short.

Tell the reader their question was answered. It builds trust and brings the next question.
