Print journalism is pretty formulaic but one of the bigger challenges is finding and interviewing sources. Most news organizations have requirements on the minimum # per story and who those people should be. It's laborious.

Pro and college typically warrant some quotes but so often preps are written by a stringer who just details the game.
