NEWS MONITORING · Workflow idea

Give your team a timely, organized view of the news that matters.

Gather recent items from selected news sources, filter them to a chosen reporting period, and sort them by date. Prepare a readable digest for the team’s review space and notify a moderator to check the content before it is shared with a wider or public audience.

The handoff

A dated, readable news digest with a moderator assigned to verify content and approve its audience.

Keep in mind

A source may change or remove an article, and a summary can omit important context. Check original coverage, dates, and attribution. A moderator must approve the exact update and intended audience before customer contact, external distribution, or public publication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select sources and schedule

Choose the approved publications to monitor and how often the team wants an update.

Set the date window and story limits

Decide how recent an item must be and how many stories are useful for each review.

Choose the review location and moderator

Identify where drafts are kept, who checks them, and which audiences require separate approval.

Test sparse, repeated, and changing coverage

Check duplicate stories, old items, broken links, and periods with little news to ensure limitations are clear.
