Field 02 — What we do
Coverage decisions deserve a visible map, not a hunch.
Too many newsroom decisions about where to report and who to speak with are made from memory rather than evidence. We help editors and reporters lay out what's actually being covered, where the gaps sit, and what a next assignment should look like.
- ✓Grounded in your outlet's real archive and beat history
- ✓Built around community trust, not just contact counts
- ✓Practical guidance you can use on the next assignment

From the notebook
Coverage
Reading a Coverage Gap Before It Becomes a Story
Why the places an outlet never visits often say more than the ones it does.
Sourcing
Introductions That Don't Wear Out Their Welcome
A slower approach to building trust with sources outside the newsroom's usual circle.
Field Work
What to Pack When Access Might Be Refused
Preparing for a reporting trip means planning for the version that doesn't go as expected.
Field 05 — Our approach
We work at the pace journalism actually needs.
- ✓Sessions built around your outlet's real workload, not a template
- ✓Written materials you keep and reuse after the session ends
- ✓Careful attention to the safety of sources and communities
- ✓No pressure to commit beyond what's useful to you
If a coverage map would help your next quarter of work, we're glad to talk it through.

Notes from the newsroom
"The coverage map gave our whole desk a shared picture of where we'd been ignoring entire districts. It changed how we plan assignments."
Rania Wulandari
Managing Editor, Warta Selatan
"I'd been avoiding a whole beat because I didn't know how to approach the community. The source-building sessions gave me a way in that felt honest."
Fikri Hutapea
Freelance Reporter
"The trip plan they helped us build covered contingencies we hadn't considered, including what to do if access fell through on day one."
