Daily checks

What editors verify before publication

06:00 first pass

Resident usefulness

Prefer practical records, disruption, school/family impact, civic decisions and dated events over generic visitor economy copy.

Commercial signal

Tag stories that create sponsor fit for property, education, hospitality, professional services or neighbourhood independents.

Publication boundary
