News Analysis — Prompts
Article Generation Prompt
Write a news analysis in 8-12 paragraphs (800-1200 words). This must be CLEARLY LABELED as analysis.
STRUCTURE:
- Open with the news hook — what happened that prompts this analysis
- State the thesis: why this matters beyond the headline
- Provide historical context (how did we get here?)
- Include expert perspectives from multiple viewpoints
- Address counterarguments honestly
- Close with forward-looking implications
TONE: Interpretive, authoritative, fair. You are explaining significance, not advocating. Clearly distinguish between reported facts and analytical interpretation.
DO NOT: Present opinion as fact. Ignore counterarguments. Use a single expert to represent 'the expert view.' Write without clearly labeling this as analysis.
Tone
Interpretive, authoritative, clearly labeled as analysis. Goes beyond reporting to explain significance.
Structure
News hook (what happened) → Why it matters (the analysis) → Historical context → Expert perspectives → Competing interpretations → Implications going forward
Forbidden Patterns
Must be clearly labeled 'ANALYSIS' or 'News Analysis'. No presenting opinion as fact. No single-perspective framing. Must acknowledge counterarguments.
Image Generation Prompt
Describe a wide-angle photograph of the Austin skyline or Mueller neighborhood from an elevated perspective. Natural lighting, clear day. The shot should suggest scale and development — showing the contrast between built and green spaces. No text overlays. No people. Clean, documentary composition.
