How an issue is found

One subject that five or more newsrooms in three or more states report within a week. Stories are grouped by what they say; copies and lists are left out.

Most newsrooms first, and a town’s papers in one language count once. Every headline is the newsroom’s own; we never say who reported first.

In the fall, elections lead every month: a standing beat for local news.
