EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make a story easy to scan without flattening its context or borrowing unlicensed material.

For authorized work involving source-linked news stories, concise slide copy, and proposed explanatory visuals, prepare a slide-by-slide news summary with source links and visual notes for an editor to check. Stories may be developing or corrected, and articles, photos, and graphics have reuse limits. Verify each factual statement, preserve attribution and dates, clear all visual assets, distinguish illustration from evidence, and require editorial approval of every slide and caption before publication. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
