“A reporter, and editor and an a reader” is a series that asks a crime reporter, a news editor and a reader what makes a good story. Reporters, journalists and editors who work in the ‘news’ work with ‘true’ stories.  We wanted to explore what they think makes a good story, and then take their insights and apply them to making fiction on stage.

This is part two in the series, “An editor”.
