TOPIC MONITORING · Workflow idea
Choose topics and feeds to follow, then gather new articles on a regular schedule. Check whether each item is relevant, prepare a concise summary of useful coverage, and keep article details in a tracking list so the team can see what has already been reviewed.
01 / The starting point
Topics of interest and the public article feeds selected by the team
“Gather relevant new articles, prepare source-linked summaries, and keep each digest for team review before wider sharing or publication.”
02 / The work
Helps teams follow developments in selected subjects without manually checking every feed.
Select the subjects and public feeds that match the team’s monitoring needs.
Collect available items on a regular schedule and keep each headline, date, and original link together.
Compare new items with the tracking list and focus review on relevant articles that have not already been handled.
Make useful findings easier to scan while keeping the original article available for context and fact-checking.
Have a person verify the sources, wording, and recipients before any digest is sent externally or published.
03 / The result
A focused, dated article digest with original links and a record of items already considered.
Reports & insights · Example outcome
A focused, dated article digest with original links and a record of items already considered.
A summary may miss context, and automated collection may be subject to source terms or local rules. Use sources responsibly, verify important claims against the original articles, and have a person approve the exact content and audience before external sharing or publication.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Choose sources the team is permitted to monitor and define the subjects that belong in each digest.
Decide how often to check for articles, what counts as a repeat, and where reviewed items are recorded.
Name who verifies summaries and approves the exact digest and audience before anything is shared outside the team.
Review duplicate, outdated, and irrelevant articles to confirm they are clearly handled and do not appear as new findings.
