Five reports built with the kit

Each page is built by build.py from the JSON file beside it, in its own theme, and every sentence, name, number and result on all five is invented for a design showcase.

• Who covers the town?A county-by-county count of the paid people who cover local government in New Jersey, and what changes in the counties that share a reporting desk.
• Saying soA coding study of how 60 invented local newsrooms wrote their AI disclosures, and where on the page each notice sat.
• Ninety days for one recordOne public records request followed from the first email to the last of 212 pages, in pictures and parts.
• Five things the 2026 partner survey foundA one-page brief on what 214 invented partner newsrooms said they need next, and the three things the Center will do about it.
• How a collaborative reporting project runsThe eight months between the first phone call and the morning nine newsrooms publish at once, with the four problems that come up every time.
