NEWS DIGEST EDITING · Workflow idea

Keep readers informed with a digest an editor has checked.

Bring selected current headlines together into a concise digest focused on the subjects and regions a team follows. Prepare short summaries with links to original reporting and make source and date visible. An editor checks accuracy, balance, and relevance, then approves the exact edition and subscriber list before any email or other outside distribution.

The handoff

A dated digest with five concise summary points, source links, and a subscriber list awaiting human approval.

Keep in mind

Headlines and summaries can be incomplete, out of date, or misleading without the full article. Check each story against its source, retain attribution and links, and respect reuse terms. Confirm subscriber consent and preferences. An authorized editor must approve the exact digest, subject, and recipients before an email is sent; no breaking-news or promotional message should go out without that review.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define approved news sources and subjects

Choose relevant publications, regions, topics, and a suitable time period for the digest.

Set summary and attribution standards

Agree on the five-point format, source links, dates, and how uncertain or developing reports should be described.

Maintain subscriber preferences

Use an access-controlled list, honor consent and unsubscribes, and keep recipient details limited to the publication team.

Assign editorial and sending approvers

Name who verifies stories and who approves the exact digest and recipient list before each outside email.
