You will be paired with the Managing Editor, Companies in this task.

You must be familiar with the necessities of strong “nut graf'', conveyig to the reader why this story matters, and how. Your mission: to ensure CoinDesk readers are fully up to date whenever and wherever something happens in the cryptocurrency industry, and that all content is accurate, punctual and written in CoinDesk style.
