People live between elections—stories should too.
Venezuela Story — human-scale reporting frames.
Red line: Poverty porn that steals dignity for clicks.
We start with rent, buses, and school weeks—not with who you voted for.
Example: a school day drops out because of power—that’s not a footnote in a macro chart.
Daily logistics first
Family networks move money and care across borders imperfectly.
Small businesses improvise payments daily; macro charts don’t see it.
System pressure
School weeks get disrupted by power and transport—‘metrics’ miss that.
Migration routes are budgets and paperwork, not just courage.
Questions we leave open
Assuming English-speaking sources are ‘neutral’ by default.
We’d rather leave a question open than force a neat story.
Cluster by rent and routes, not only elections: logistics lens; what we won’t film.
Roadmap honesty
We publish what we can defend. If a plan slips, the page says so—roadmaps are promises to readers, not marketing wallpaper.
