NEWS VIDEO CONTENT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn a timely story into a video draft without skipping the fact check.

Use selected, current reporting to prepare a short video script and captions for the channels your team manages. Keep source links and dates with each draft, verify claims and presentation choices, and require an editor and account owner to approve the exact video, wording, audience, and timing before it is published anywhere.

Keep in mind

News may be incomplete or change quickly, and a presenter’s image or voice may imply an endorsement they did not give. Verify reporting and attribution, confirm permission for every voice, likeness, and visual, and require an editor and account owner to approve the exact video, account, audience, and schedule before publication.
