BREAKING NEWS EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Move quickly on the news without outrunning the facts.

For a selected topic, gather current reporting and prepare a short headline-style social post with source links. Keep the original publication date visible, distinguish confirmed facts from developing reports, and require an editor to verify the story and approve the exact post and account before anything is published.
