One story, kept intact

How a reporter's story reaches the desk with its footage.

A decision tree for the assignment desk: what arrives, what Vartmaan matches, and where a human editor takes over.

01

Received

WhatsApp, Outlook, or the Reporter app enters one desk inbox.

02

Matched

The slug, district, and reporter footage stay attached to the same story.

03

Reviewed

The editor can edit, reject, or approve without touching the source footage.

04

Fed

Approved stories reach Octopus only after a person on the desk says go.
