The handoff

An original draft with the source, key claims, proposed title, and editorial review status kept together.

Keep in mind

News can change quickly, and a summary may lose important context or repeat a publisher’s wording. Verify each claim against the original reporting and additional trusted sources, preserve attribution and reuse rights, and require an editor to approve the exact article, destination, and audience before publishing or using it with customers or another external audience.
