Why Repeaters?
Repeaters can be valuable tools to incorporate consistent coverage into your publication. With similar formats and storytelling styles, repeaters are a great way to train new reporters and ensure reliable ideas.

01
Timeliness
Angle
Unlike most news pieces, repeaters can be planned ahead and published on a regularly scheduled basis. �
To keep them timely, connect the piece to current events.
Because repeaters often follow similar structures, they can quickly become stale.
Make sure your stories reveal fresh perspectives that are impactful on your community.
