NEWS AND CONTENT CURATION · Workflow idea

Stay current with a concise digest of the sources you follow.

Bring recent items from a curated set of publications into a daily review, prepare short summaries, and keep an organized record for later reference. Make each item traceable to its original source, remove duplicates or outdated entries, and require a person to verify the digest and approve its recipients before sending or archiving it in a shared location.

The handoff

A reviewed-content draft with article links, short summaries, dates, and a proposed archive record.

Keep in mind

Summaries can omit context or misstate an article, and automated distribution may send content to the wrong audience. Approve the exact sources and retrieval request before outside access, verify each summary against its article, and require a person to approve the final digest, recipients, and archive destination before sharing or saving it externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Maintain a curated source list

Choose publications appropriate to the purpose and check their access and reuse expectations.

Set a useful time window and cadence

Define how often the digest is prepared and how old or repeated items are handled.

Choose summary and archive fields

Keep source links, dates, titles, and concise notes together and mark unclear summaries for review.

Assign editorial and distribution approval

Name who checks the digest and who approves its exact recipients and archive destination before delivery.
