NEWS CONTENT PLANNING · Workflow idea

Turn current stories into video ideas without losing their sources.

Collect recent stories within an approved topic scope and prepare short video scripts, captions, and text overlays for a defined brand voice. Preserve direct source links and attribution, verify dates, facts, and context, avoid presenting speculation as reporting, and check image and quotation rights; an editor should approve every claim and creative draft before it is published.

The handoff

A set of script, caption, and overlay drafts with source citations and editorial review status.

Keep in mind

A polished script can still distort a story, omit context, or use material without permission. Verify claims against original sources, show publication dates and attribution, obtain consent for personal stories, check asset rights, and require editorial approval before public release.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose permitted sources and topics

Document the source scope and any subjects that require extra review.

Maintain brand and disclosure guidance

Keep voice, sponsorship, attribution, and personal-data rules current.

Keep citations with every draft

Make source dates and links available beside scripts and captions.

Require editorial review before publishing

Treat every generated asset as a draft until a person approves it.
