Renew the cycle and start over. You will end with the purist form of creativity, because imagination will become recognized as a legitimate news gathering tool. This doesn't have to be a leap. The group will quietly, in small ways, introduce new ideas. The newsroom can't accommodate leaps.
Leaps wear out.
Leapers get tired and give up. This is a small group, a mutual move. It's a weakness of journalism that style and content are repeated endlessly. This new procedure depends on finding new content within the routine world, not with jazzing up personal style. As you work with the group, new style will evolve from synthesis of group discussion and new content.
