MEDIA RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Bring relevant reporting together without losing the original sources.

For an approved monitoring or research purpose, collect selected public articles and organize their titles, links, and available category details in a reviewable list. Respect each site’s access and reuse terms, keep searches proportionate, preserve publication and collection dates, and verify context and important claims with the original article before sharing or making decisions.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Approve sources and collection purpose

Document why each source is included and follow its access and reuse conditions.

Set limits on frequency and stored content

Collect only what is needed and avoid unnecessary full-text or personal information.

Keep source dates and links traceable

Make it clear when an article was checked and where its information came from.

Assign fact-checking and retention owners

Name who verifies findings and when collected material should be reviewed or removed.

Keep exploring
