EDITORIAL PLANNING · Workflow idea

Find a fresh angle in a feed—and keep the original source in view.

For a creator or editorial team with permission to review selected feeds, collect new headlines, prepare several possible content angles, and organize them in a private digest or idea database. A headline can oversimplify a story, and a rewritten angle may still imitate protected expression or imply unsupported facts. Preserve source links and dates, verify the article behind each headline, use original wording, and require an editor to approve any adaptation or publication.

Checks selected feeds, prepares several possible content angles from new items, and organizes the ideas for review.

  1. Confirm feed access and topic scope

    Use allowed sources and a clear editorial purpose.

  2. Open each source item and check its date

    Review the full story, author, updates, and original meaning.

  3. Write distinct and supportable angles

    Avoid copying distinctive language or presenting an unverified claim as fact.

  4. Preserve links and limit stored content

    Keep short metadata and source references rather than full article text.

  5. Approve any public adaptation

    Require an editor to verify rights, facts, audience, and attribution before publishing.
