Who does what in a newsroom
Welcome to the Daily Lantern, a newsroom in Brightbay. Four teammates are busy, so match each job to the right person.
From idea to published
Kiki at the Daily Lantern has an idea: why is the town fountain closed? Put the story steps in order.
Deadline day
The Daily Lantern goes to print at 6 pm and it is already 4. Photographer Ben is late with the pictures, and Reporter Ana is unsure of one number.
Pick the right format
The Daily Lantern can tell a story in print, on radio, in video, as a podcast or on the web. Each story fits one format best.
Why a free press helps
A free press means journalists can report and ask questions without being silenced. Little Mara wonders what that changes for her town.
