Listen · AI narration
When a story shows up in exactly one place, it's either too small to matter or too local to travel. Often it's the latter — and that's our beat.
The angle
Deep dive: "SPONSORED CONTENT: Back-to-school sports: The biggest mistake athletes make each fall and how to avoid it" — only one source covering this
Why one source is worth a second look
When only one outlet covers a story, two things tend to be true at once: it's local enough to slip past the regional press, and someone cared enough to write it anyway. Both are reasons to pay attention.
