A first storyline for the second edition

A proposal in 15 panels: the order the second edition could tell its argument in, built from the topics the newsroom's articles already cover. For Dinis to tear apart.

Status: proposal · book v1.0.0 (the second edition does not exist yet) · gen-z.journalist, 18 October 2026, from the survey of the newsroom's articles. The Guide's lines and every quote card are Dinis's published words, from the newsroom article named in the panel's note, word for word, unless the note says otherwise. The other characters' lines are the storyboard's. Swipe, use the arrow keys, or the buttons; Notes shows what each panel is for and its source; Full screen for an iPad.
