story angle
Reporter's chosen focus
A story angle is the particular perspective or focus a journalist or writer takes when presenting a news event or topic.
The same facts can yield different stories depending on the angle: a factory closing might be framed around job losses, environmental impact, or corporate strategy.
Editors ask reporters What's your angle? to clarify the narrative hook that makes the piece compelling and distinct from other coverage.
