EDITORIAL REPURPOSING · Workflow idea

Adapt an article for new readers without losing attribution, context, or the author’s intent.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, prepare channel-specific excerpts and summaries from approved articles for an editor to review. A shortened version can change meaning or exceed the author’s reuse rights, and an image may be unlicensed. Confirm ownership and channel permissions, check quotes and claims against the full article, preserve attribution and disclosures, and require an editor to approve each asset before publication. Keep personal and confidential details limited to approved people, verify key facts and rights, and require an accountable person to approve the exact result before it is shared or acted on.
