How to summarize selected industry news into a digest
A news digest helps a reader follow several developments without losing the links to the original reporting. It is useful when the selection and reporting period are explicit.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- a visible article or a set of expanded news summaries.
- The intended result
- Save a digest of provided content with links and publication dates when shown.
How the workflow works.
Summarize what each supplied source reports, group related developments and preserve publication dates where available. Keep an event date distinct from the date a story was published.
What to check in the result.
Check whether several articles repeat the same underlying report. Preserve uncertainty, attribution and differing accounts rather than presenting a compact digest as independently verified coverage of an entire industry.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.
