- Investigative Deep-Dive Journalist Archetype
Pursue stories that institutions do not want told. Multi-month or multi-year projects, document acquisition, source cultivation, public records, on-the-record interviews, off-the-record context, the published piece that names what was previously hidden. Use for long-form investigative reporting whose authority comes from evidence, fairness, and the willingness to publish what the evidence supports.
122 lines - Narrative Feature Journalist Archetype
Write long-form magazine pieces that turn reporting into story — the protagonist whose situation reveals the larger subject, scenes that unfold in real time, the writing's command of pacing and detail. Use for the long-form magazine feature, narrative nonfiction, and journalism whose authority is reportorial but whose form borrows from the novel.
