EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Respond to a developing story without publishing an unchecked claim or borrowed passage.

For a permitted purpose, prepare a source-linked news brief and optional social draft for an editor to review. Breaking details can change, summaries may omit context, and copied text or images may be protected. Use permitted sources, verify claims with original reporting, keep citations and timestamps, clear all creative assets, protect unpublished drafts, and require an editor to approve the exact post and destination before release.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.
