NEWS AND SOCIAL CONTENT · Workflow idea

Move quickly on important news without skipping the fact check.

Prepare a concise social update about a selected news topic using current reporting, with source details ready for review. News can change quickly and early accounts may be wrong, so have an editor confirm the facts, timestamps, attribution, and rights, then approve the exact wording, account, audience, and timing before anything is posted.

The handoff

Keep in mind

Breaking reports may be incomplete, disputed, or outdated within minutes. Check primary and reliable sources, preserve attribution and context, avoid presenting uncertainty as fact, and confirm permission for quoted or visual material. An editor must approve the exact post, account, audience, and timing before publication.
