Khabar Lahariya has a two-week production cycle. After meeting to plan the issue, the reporters chalk out their beats. They visit villages or government offices to follow up on leads, gather information and interview people. They scan mainstream newspapers and magazines for story ideas. Mid-way through the production cycle they hold a daylong editorial meeting, at which the stories being pursued are discussed and editorial content is decided. A few days later they meet again at the Khabar Lahariya office for a three-day production workshop – a high-intensity spell of writing, giving feedback on others’ stories, editing, designing, illustrating and proofreading. Once done, one of the women takes the paper to Allahabad (the nearest big city, 100 kms away) to be printed. After two days, when the paper comes hot off the press, the reporters double up as saleswomen. They collect their copies from the office… and the cycle begins again.
