EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Share a timely update while making human fact-checking part of the release.

For work involving selected news sources, concise summaries, and proposed channel posts, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare a source-linked news post for an editor to review before it is sent to a channel. Breaking reports may be wrong or incomplete, and reuse rights vary. Verify claims and dates against primary reporting, preserve attribution, distinguish confirmed facts from developing information, protect channel access, and require explicit editorial approval for each post.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record permissions and attribution

Keep source links, dates, licenses, credit requirements, and reuse limits available.

Define how claims, translations, quotations, and commercial disclosures are checked.

Protect unpublished material

Restrict briefs, source files, and drafts to designated reviewers.

Require editorial approval

Keep publication and external distribution paused until a person approves them.

Keep exploring

Give a campaign a clear message while checking every claim and audience choice. Verify the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review length-matched web copy
