READING & RESEARCH · Workflow idea
Bring articles from selected public publisher feeds together, group coverage by topic, and compare recent activity with an earlier period. Get a shortlist with enough context to decide what deserves a closer read.
01 / The starting point
Four public publisher feeds and the topics your team wants to follow
“Review recent articles from my selected publishers, identify topics gaining coverage compared with the earlier baseline, and prepare a balanced reading shortlist as a shareable brief and data file.”
02 / The work
Collects articles from four configured public feeds, filters and groups them using chosen topics and keywords, compares a recent period with an earlier baseline, and selects a balanced set of stories. It produces downloadable HTML and CSV outputs.
Select four public publisher feeds and define the topics and keywords the reading brief should cover.
Choose a recent window and an earlier baseline so the comparison reflects the time periods your team cares about.
Apply the selected date range and exclusions, remove repeated publisher links, and group articles by their strongest matching topic.
Group similar headlines into stories and compare recent coverage with the baseline, noting when source coverage is limited.
Prioritize stories covered by multiple publishers and limit how many items come from any one topic.
Read the HTML brief, inspect the source links, and use the CSV file for further sorting or discussion.
03 / The result
A topic-organized shortlist with coverage momentum and source links, available as a readable HTML brief and a CSV file for further review.
Research & strategy · Example outcome
A topic-organized shortlist with coverage momentum and source links, available as a readable HTML brief and a CSV file for further review.
A rise in feed coverage is a signal to investigate, not proof that a topic is broadly important. Check the source articles and coverage-quality notes before drawing conclusions.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Provide four public feed addresses and a consistent publisher name for each source.
Set topic labels, matching keywords, and terms that should be excluded from the shortlist.
Choose the recent and baseline time windows, shortlist size, momentum thresholds, and maximum items per topic.
Run it when needed or set a weekday schedule and time zone, then check feed health and both downloadable outputs.
