Lean journalism

Lean journalism is an approach that applies principles from lean manufacturing to news reporting. It focuses on efficiency and effectiveness by prioritizing the production of accurate, relevant content while minimizing waste—such as unnecessary processes or resources. Journalists using lean methods gather only the essential information, streamline workflows, and rapidly adapt to audience feedback. This approach aims to deliver timely, meaningful news with less cost and effort, ensuring that reporting remains focused on what truly matters to the audience while maintaining quality and integrity.
