PR NEWS EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring press coverage into your publishing queue without skipping the editor.

Collect a selected press-release article and its featured image, then prepare a draft post with source context for the editorial team. Verify the article’s origin, accuracy, reuse rights, image attribution, and relevance, and require an editor to approve the exact headline, content, image, and publication timing before anything goes live.
