NEWS RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Keep up with new stories without losing the source.

On a weekly schedule, collect the newest posts from a selected news site and prepare a brief summary and useful topic terms for each one. Preserve the publication date and a direct link to every original story so a researcher can verify the summary and understand its context before using it.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

The agreed weekly check of a selected public news site

“Identify new posts, prepare dated summaries and topic terms, and retain a clear link to each source for human review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a researcher keep a consistent record of recent coverage from a chosen publication and find relevant stories later.

  1. Choose the publication and review period

    Select a site the researcher is permitted to monitor and agree on how far back each weekly review should look.

  2. Identify recently published stories

    Gather available post titles, dates, and direct links, then distinguish new items from previously reviewed stories.

  3. Prepare a short summary and topic terms

    Capture the main point of each story and a few useful search terms without adding claims absent from the article.

  4. Preserve source citations

    Keep the original story link and publication date next to every summary so a reader can check the source.

  5. Review accuracy and appropriate reuse

    Have a researcher verify the summary, follow the publication’s terms, and approve any external sharing.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A searchable collection of new story summaries with publication dates and original source links.

The handoff

A searchable collection of new story summaries with publication dates and original source links.

Keep in mind

A summary can omit context or misstate a story, and collection practices must respect the publisher’s access rules and reuse terms. Keep the original headline, date, and direct citation with each summary, check claims against the article, and require a person to approve summaries before external sharing or consequential use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose a publication and permitted scope

Confirm the site allows the intended review and define the pages and story types in scope.

Set the weekly period and duplicate rules

Decide how often to review, what counts as new, and how revised or repeated stories are handled.

Choose fields for the research collection

Keep the title, date, direct source link, summary, and topic terms together for later checking.

Test a representative week

Review new, revised, and unavailable stories and confirm summaries retain citations and are held when the source is unclear.
