This week I received an email from a reader (and newsletter subscriber!) named Amanda. She had an idea for the newsletter, and it was so good, that I thought we’d get right into it this time around. She said, “Your team’s newsletters are really informative, but with all the misinformation out there about news and how its produced- you should consider adding a section dedicated to answering ‘news questions’. After exchanging a few notes- I learned that she wasn’t talking about ‘news questions’ per se, like, “Why did my town change a sign on this street?” Rather, Amanda was talking about newsroom process and policy.
