EDITORIAL IMAGE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Find an image that fits your story and its usage rules.

Start with a search phrase and selected editorial criteria, then gather matching image options and their available embed links. Keep the selection connected to its source and intended story so an editor can check relevance, current usage terms, credit requirements, and destination before placing it in published content.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An editor submits a search phrase and criteria for an editorial image need

“Find matching editorial image options, prepare their available embed links, and hold each selection for rights and editorial review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps publishers find candidate editorial images and organize the information needed to consider embedding one in a story.

  1. Describe the editorial image need

    Set a focused search phrase, collection criteria, and the story or publication context.

  2. Gather matching image options

    Collect candidate results that fit the chosen criteria and retain their source context.

  3. Prepare available embed details

    Organize the embed links and any required image information without treating availability as blanket permission.

  4. Check the image, rights, and attribution

    Have an editor verify that the image fits the story and meets current usage, credit, and placement requirements.

  5. Approve the exact image and publication

    Confirm the selected image, story, destination, and audience before an embed is placed in published content.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A set of relevant image options with embed information and source context, ready for an editor to approve.

The handoff

A set of relevant image options with embed information and source context, ready for an editor to approve.

Keep in mind

An available embed does not automatically grant permission for every use, and search matches may not suit the story. Review current licensing and attribution requirements, check the exact image and destination, and keep publication subject to an editor’s approval.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define search phrases and editorial criteria

Choose how editors describe a story need and which collection criteria help find a relevant image.

Choose the review destination

Select where candidate image details are collected and which editors may inspect them.

Set rights and publication checks

Name the person who verifies current usage terms, attribution, story fit, and the final publication destination.

Test relevant and unsuitable results

Try clear, broad, and no-match searches; confirm each candidate remains pending until an editor checks its exact permitted use.
