DESK 01 / EDITORIAL SUPPORT
Steadier newsrooms, one working session at a time.
Evorian works alongside small independent outlets in Indonesia on the practical questions of running a newsroom: what to cover, how to check it, and how to keep a newsletter going without burning out the desk.

DESK 02 / WHO WE ARE
Practical help for teams that cover a lot with a little.
Evorian was built around a simple idea: most small newsrooms don't need a new strategy deck, they need clearer routines. We sit with editors and reporters, look at what's actually happening on a given week, and help set down decisions that hold up under deadline pressure.
- ✓ Grounded in day-to-day newsroom routines
- ✓ Written recommendations you can hand to new hires
- ✓ Built for outlets with fewer than ten staff
- ✓ No long retainers — sessions with a clear end

The Subject Line Habit That Keeps Readers Around
Describing beats teasing, and why that matters over a full year.
DESK 05 / APPROACH
We work at the pace a small desk can actually sustain.
- ✓ Sessions scoped to a fixed number of hours
- ✓ Recommendations written for the team that stays, not the consultant who leaves
- ✓ No jargon that doesn't survive contact with a deadline
If your desk is stretched thin, a single working session can help.

What editors have said
"The planning template alone changed how our Monday meetings go. We stopped promising more than three of us could file."
Rangga Wibisono
Editor, Warta Selatan
"Our corrections policy used to be a paragraph nobody read. Now it's a page new reporters actually follow."
Melati Kusdiantoro
Managing Editor, Lini Timur
"Four issues in, our newsletter finally has a shape. Open rates held steady instead of dropping off."
