PERSONAL NEWS READING · Workflow idea

Catch up on the stories that matter to you.

Bring recent reporting about a person’s chosen subjects, regions, or industries into a focused reading digest. Keep original article links and dates close to each summary, distinguish reported facts from interpretation, and let the reader review important claims before forwarding, publishing, or using them to make a consequential decision.

The handoff

A concise private digest of selected reporting with original links, dates, and review notes.

Keep in mind

A news summary can omit context, repeat an unverified claim, or reflect an incomplete set of sources. Check dates and original reporting, keep personal interests private, and require a person to review the exact wording and audience before anything is posted publicly or shared externally. Verify important claims with a qualified person before consequential use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set topics and suitable source guidelines

Choose the interests and source qualities that make a digest useful to its intended reader.

Protect reader preferences

Limit access to personal reading interests and retain only what is needed to prepare the digest.

Preserve dates and original articles

Keep the publication date and source link alongside each item so readers can check recency and context.

Keep sharing and consequential use under review

Require a person to verify important claims and approve the exact text and audience before external sharing or public posting.
