One reel, several articles: why you choose the angle
The same facts can make a news item, a guide, or an argument. Picking the angle is the editorial decision, so it stays with you.
Give five writers the same set of facts and you get five different pieces. One leads with the money, another with the people affected, a third with what to do on Monday morning. None of them is wrong. They chose different angles.
An angle is a decision about what the piece is for
For each reel, StrandScribe suggests a few angles and says why each one fits. You pick one. The transcript and the verified sources stay exactly the same; the angle decides which facts lead, which are kept to a line, and which are left out.
Each angle keeps its own article
Write the cost angle as a news article, then the practical angle as a feature, and both stay side by side under the same brief. You can compare them, edit either, and post the one that suits where it is going.
What an angle cannot do
An angle never licenses a claim. If the sources cannot carry the angle you picked, the article says less rather than inventing more. The format works the same way: an opinion piece argues the position you give it, but its facts still come only from the sources.
