# Series production plan — "Right-wing media as democracy threat"
Created: 2026-08-25

## Series structure

**LAWBE daily point-outs** (shorts/reels) + **12-15 min explainer episodes**.

Each episode targets one outlet from the manifest
`C:/DandyDon/smm/shows/series_rightwing_threat/series_manifest.json`
and must carry at least one receipt.

## First three episodes
1. Breitbart
2. Liberty Daily
3. One America News (OANN)

## Segment contract
Use `script_segments.json` with sections:
- `OPEN` — hook, one line, receipts in plain language.
- `PRESENTER` — the presenter-to-camera beat (hook, bridge, close).
- `NARRATOR` — body / explanation with VST-receipted visuals.
- `CLOSE` — resolve + CTA.

## Production path
The existing pipeline stays the same. The new wiring is present:
- `presenter_segment.py` and `smm_stage04b_presenter.py` are built to handle `PRESENTER` sections.
- The brain gate is healthy (L1 checked via query; synthesis refused when no L1 facts, which is what we want).

## Receipts
Every claim must have a receipt. The manifest is the starting receipt; add a per-episode receipt file at
`C:/DandyDon/dandydon/receipts/<date>/episode_<slug>.json`
and the final broadcast receipt at
`C:/DandyDon/dandydon/receipts/<date>/_broadcast_<slug>.json`.
