The more things change, the more they stay the same. Your new model -- “report, write, edit, publish, edit, write, report, publish” -- is the way newsgathering and reporting have worked in my lifetime (57 years). It just hasn't looked like a continuum. For the newspaper world, I would structure your phrase as: "report, write, edit, publish, followup report, write second-day story, edit, publish, followup report, write weekend story, edit, publish" until the story runs out of steam.
