NEWS DIGEST OPERATIONS · Workflow idea

Share a concise reading list with source context, recipient consent, and editorial checks.

For feeds and recipients approved by a publisher, collect new articles, rate and tag them against documented editorial criteria, remove duplicates, and prepare short summaries for an email digest. Preserve source links and dates, check summaries against the articles, respect publisher terms and recipient subscriptions, provide required unsubscribe controls, and have an editor approve the digest and recipient list before delivery.

The handoff

A source-linked digest with article ratings, deduplication status, recipient scope, and editorial approval.

Keep in mind

Automated ranking and summary can omit context, favor a narrow selection, or misstate an article. Keep source links and publication dates, review selection criteria and summaries, honor subscriptions and opt-outs, and approve the final digest before it reaches recipients.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose permitted feed sources

Check source terms and maintain an editorial owner for each feed.

Document ranking and duplicate rules

Make selection criteria visible and avoid presenting ratings as objective truth.

Maintain consent and unsubscribe records

Send only to current subscribers and honor opt-outs promptly.

Set digest review and retention

Keep the article history and recipient data only as needed.
