The weekly publishing system
One reporting packet.
Every edition, every channel.
Use the same verified stories, photos and source links for the printable newsletter first—and later for the website, email and Instagram without rewriting the issue from scratch.
01
Every week
Repeat this six-step cycle.
Choose
Select one lead story, three quick reads, six calendar items, one interview and one development signal.
Report
Confirm dates, addresses and status language. Conduct the restaurant or business interview and collect a horizontal photo.
Write
Complete the shared edition fields once. Keep headlines specific, summaries short and every material claim linked to a source.
Review
Check names, phone numbers, dates, image credits, permit status and the distinction between proposed, approved and issued.
Publish
Approve the print preview, save the PDF, then reuse the same stories for the website, email and social posts.
02
Restaurant + business profile
A reliable 20-minute interview.
