Stories are what makes up the content in your newspaper. Every hour there is a chance for new stories to appear on the map. Clicking on a story will open a prompt, asking if you want to assign it to the currently selected reporter. If the active reporter already has a story assigned, that story will be discarded if replaced.
All stories have a set of stats which are combined with those of the reporter writing it. The result is an importance score, which influences many things including the number of new subscribers attracted per issue, and the overall game score. Some stories have celebrities attached to them, which can affect the Importance and other factors.
The final score/importance of a story is not determined until the paper goes to print. At that time, things like placement on the front page, reporter happiness and upgrades will have further modified its base score.
