Behind the Story

From Black church editor Haleluya Hadero: As a reporter and editor, I’m always on the hunt for good story ideas. But sometimes, it can be challenging to find the type of stories that surprise and interest readers—especially if you’re covering an area that’s intensely competitive.

When I am running short on ideas, I know that means I need to schedule some calls or coffee meetups. When I was a business reporter, I routinely met with analysts, executives, union organizers, and others who could give me a few tips. People feel more comfortable speaking when they know the conversation is not for publication. So I usually grant them that request and hear what’s on their minds.

The vast majority of what I hear during these types of informational interviews doesn’t turn into stories. But I have also heard things that surprise me and have become good pieces. Even if a story doesn’t come out of these meetings, they can help reporters learn more about a particular topic or strengthen their relationship with a source. I bring a similar mindset to the work that I do with Christianity Today.
