1. The Challenge: Balancing Speed and Structure
Independent journalists thrive on agility, but flexibility often comes at a cost: disorganization.
Before Storifyr, many journalists struggled with:
- Scattered tools for writing, editing, and publishing.
- Manual version tracking and email-based approvals.
- Difficulty maintaining consistent formatting and metadata for different platforms.
- Limited visibility into how their stories performed post-publication.
Without automation and integration, the creative process often got bogged down in logistics.
“I had great stories ready to publish — but I was spending more time managing tools than reporting.”
— Freelance Correspondent, Eastern Europe
