The handoff

A daily digest draft with article titles, dates, links, concise summaries, and delivery approval status.

Keep in mind

Summaries can omit context or misstate an article, and a digest may include content that is not appropriate for every recipient. Check sources, dates, important claims, and reuse conditions, then require a person to approve the exact message, recipient list, and delivery time before it is sent. Changes to a connected delivery account or its permissions also require the account owner’s approval.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Maintain an appropriate source list

Choose publications relevant to the audience and review their access and reuse expectations.

Set the review period and cadence

Decide how often to prepare a digest and how to handle older, duplicate, or fast-changing stories.

Choose summary and link conventions

Keep titles, dates, source links, and uncertainty together so readers can check the original reporting.

Assign editorial and delivery approvers

Name who verifies the summaries and who approves the exact recipients, account, and timing for each delivery.
