Editor's Desk: make the call, stage by stage

Newsroom dilemma practice in a game: name the dilemma, find the principle, weigh the facts, answer the pressure and decide, all before an editor with limited patience.

Demo cases with invented names and events, simplified for teaching. It is a study aid, not legal advice. Confirm every legal point against the official text. Progress is saved in your browser only.
