EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

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

For work involving article drafts based on selected current reporting and source references, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare an original article draft from permitted, source-linked reporting for an editor to assess. Developing stories change, summaries can distort context, and images or wording may be protected. Verify claims with original reporting, preserve links and attribution, check originality and asset rights, protect unpublished material, and require an editor to approve the full article before publication.
