Scenario

When journalism partners disagree on when a story is ready to publish

My writing partner and I have been working on this investigative piece about housing corruption for eight months and we've uncovered some genuinely explosive stuff, but she wants to publish what we have now and I think we need three more interviews to make it bulletproof. Every conversation about timeline becomes a fight about whether we're being thorough or just scared.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two collaborators discover they have fundamentally different relationships with risk and completion when stakes feel genuinely high.
