Real outcomes
It's not the lede.
It's the story.
Journalism students lose points for ledes that bury the news, sourcing that's thin, or stories that miss legal/ethical considerations. AskSia tightens those.

For data journalism I dropped my dataset into AskSia. Got pandas analysis walked through and visualization suggestions justified by the story. Aced the investigative project.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The portfolio helper structured my clips by beat with context paragraphs and outcome notes. Cleaned up six clips in a weekend. Three internships responded within the month.
