Keeping track of stories is not about structural discipline or working harder. It is about reducing friction.
Journalists and creators are already doing the right things. They research thoroughly, draft carefully, follow leads, and revisit ideas over time. Their stories are supported by sources and verification. The challenge is that stories evolve, and without the right workflow, that evolution can introduce noise instead of clarity.
LettsNews is designed to support journalists and creators at every stage of a story’s life, helping them stay in control without overthinking process or structure.
Stories rarely begin as finished ideas. They start as tips, angles, questions, or partial thoughts.
In LettsNews, every story begins as a single, living item, not a loose note or temporary document. From the moment an idea is captured, it can be added as a Content Item. Stories are then built directly from these Content Items, ensuring that as the story develops, everything stays connected to its original source.
This means:
The story grows in place, naturally.
Research is often where things get messy. Links, documents, transcripts, audio clips, screenshots, all valuable, but easy to scatter.
LettsNews allows all of these to be saved as Content Items and used directly when building stories.
This makes it easier to:
Everything you need stays within LettsNews.
One of the biggest sources of mental load is remembering where each story is up to.
LettsNews uses simple workflow stages to make progress visible at a glance. For example:
Its status is always clear. This removes the need for mental notes or external tracking systems. You do not need to remember, LettsNews holds the information you need.
For journalists and creators working on multiple pieces at once, this significantly reduces cognitive friction.
AI in LettsNews is designed to support, not replace, editorial judgment.
One of the most practical features is AI-assisted tagging. As stories develop, LettsNews helps apply consistent tags based on themes, topics, people, locations, and subject matter.
Over time, this creates a robust, searchable library of content:
Instead of manually maintaining folders or taxonomies, organisation improves organically as you work.
As more stories pass through LettsNews, something important happens: the archive becomes increasingly useful.
Because content is consistently tagged, structured, and stored, your body of work turns into a living resource, not a static archive. Past reporting informs future stories, and follow-ups become easier to spot.
This is especially valuable for independent journalists and small teams building depth around specific beats.
LettsNews is not about enforcing rigid processes or adding workload. It is about removing unnecessary friction so you can focus on reporting, writing, and publishing.
By capturing Content Items early, using clear stages in Story development, and relying on AI to support organisation, it becomes easier to keep track of stories without adding complexity.
