Who should you call?

{{ h.avatar }}

Every story raises questions. PEER is a checklist of the four kinds of source who can answer them. Work through seven levels, from naming a source’s role to building a full interview list for a story lead.

01The same person can play different roles. A politician might be power in one story and a representative in another, so read the question they will be asked.
02Random members of the public, friends and family are not on the list. Every source should be there for their power, expertise, experience or the people they represent.
03Think about whose voices are missing. Some groups are under-represented among experts, officials and leaders, so the easiest sources to find tend to be the same kinds of people.
