EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make updates easier to scan without copying reporting or changing its meaning.

For work involving new feed items, rewritten summaries, source links, and proposed distribution text, use this review to check the evidence before action. Prepare concise summaries from permitted feeds with links and dates for an editor to check. Feed items can change or be incomplete, and rewriting does not remove copyright or attribution obligations. Respect source terms, preserve links and credit, verify claims against original reporting, distinguish commentary from fact, and require an editor to approve each summary and destination before publication.
