Structure Your Reporting Into a News-Style Draft
Feed in the facts, quotes, and sources you've already gathered, and get back a draft organized the way a news article is built — lede, context, and supporting detail.
What is the News From a Journalist's View?
News From a Journalist's View is a structuring and drafting aid for people who have already done the reporting. You provide the verified facts, quotes, and sources, and it organizes them into the shape of a news article — a lede that leads with the most important fact, a nut graf that gives context, and body paragraphs in order of relevance.
It does not do the reporting for you, and it never invents facts, quotes, sources, or events. Every fact, name, date, and quotation in the output must come from what you provide and must be verified by you before publication — this tool only helps with structure and phrasing, not sourcing.

Tips that improve results
- Only input facts and quotes you have personally verified — never let the tool guess at missing information.
- Always re-check names, titles, and figures against your original sources before publishing.
- Tell it explicitly which fact is most newsworthy so the lede leads correctly.
- Use it for structure and pacing, then do a final line edit in your own voice.
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Asking it to fill in facts, quotes, or context you don't actually have confirmed.
- Publishing a draft without re-verifying every name, number, and quote.
- Treating the structural draft as a finished, fact-checked article.
