For this analysis, I looked at a story called "Officers keep jobs despite sexual misconduct charges" on www.nicar.org.
The story used information from another report on the officers, written by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The Sentinel is the only source listed for the story, but plenty of analysis must have been done to find the most important information from the original piece.
The reporter needed to have the skills to find the original story, as well as the skills to consolidate and pick out the most important information from the original.
The reporter also had to change the grammar and style of the piece, to make it fit the purposes of this site, rather than of the Sentinel.
