EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Build a timely article from reporting without publishing an unchecked claim or borrowed passage.

For a permitted purpose, prepare an original article draft with source links for an editor to assess before publication. Developing stories change, summaries can distort context, and wording or images may be protected. Verify claims with original reporting, preserve links and attribution, check originality and visual rights, protect unpublished material, and require an editor to approve the complete article and any separate social post before release. Confirm permission and any required notice or consent, minimize private information, respect access and reuse rights, verify claims against current source records, and require an accountable person to approve the exact consequential action.
