NEWS VIDEO PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Turn a news story into a video draft your editor can verify.

Select a timely story and prepare a concise script, a presenter-style video, and captions suited to the intended audience. Keep the source material with the draft so an editor can check accuracy, image and voice permissions, tone, and destination before anything is posted publicly.

The handoff

Keep in mind

News can be time-sensitive, disputed, or presented without enough context; likenesses, voices, images, and music may also require permission. Verify every important claim against reliable sources, confirm rights and attribution, label synthetic presentation appropriately, and require an editor to approve the exact video, caption, account, and audience before any public post.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose trusted news sources and topics

Confirm creative and likeness permissions

Document permitted use of voices, appearances, photographs, music, and other assets in each intended context.
