The handoff

A dated digest of notable past technology stories and recurring themes, awaiting a check of source links and context before distribution.

Keep in mind

A date match does not establish that two stories are related, and headline snippets may leave out important context. Check publication dates and original stories, make the limits of the comparison clear, and have a person approve the digest and audience before it is shared beyond its intended group.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the historical period

Set source and date standards

Agree how publication dates, original links, repeated stories, and unavailable sources are handled.

Choose useful themes and digest length

Set the preferred organization and amount of context so readers can understand the comparisons.

Assign a reviewer for distribution

Name who verifies context and approves the final audience before the digest is shared.
