Rotary Feature Story Program
Produce a recurring pipeline of deeply reported community features that show need, action, evidence and next steps through voices beyond the club.
What could this idea change?
Community experiences and project lessons are documented with nuance rather than reduced to promotional success claims.
A simple way to start
- Select stories for community relevance, learning and source diversity. Who could lead it: Features editor
- Agree scope, consent and review boundaries with each contributor. Who could lead it: Story producer
- Report interviews, documents, context and contrary evidence. Who could lead it: Feature writer
- Complete fact, rights, sensitivity and partner checks. Who could lead it: Editorial assurance lead
- Publish with a practical next step and monitor effects on contributors. Who could lead it: Publishing manager
What should we look for?
- Story calendar covers distinct communities and project types.
Before we say yes
- Does it fit a real local need?
- Can people take part safely and fairly?
- Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
- Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
