NEWSLETTER EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn a reading list into a useful newsletter readers can trust.

Bring together article links selected by a content owner, prepare source-linked summaries, and assemble them into a branded newsletter draft. Keep each original close for fact-checking and attribution, then have an editor review the content and recipient list before anything is sent.

The handoff

Keep in mind

Summaries can lose context or repeat errors, and subscriber details and reading interests are private. Use sources and material appropriately, preserve attribution, verify important claims, send only to people who opted in, honor unsubscribes and preferences, and require a person to approve the exact newsletter and recipient list before sending.
