Set standards for sources, tone and corrections.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write editorial guidelines for my newsletter about [TOPIC]. Contributors: [CONTRIBUTORS]. Sources I trust and avoid: [SOURCES]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Cover: purpose; what I include and exclude; how I check a claim before publishing; how I label opinion, sponsored content and affiliate links; tone and language rules with three do and do not examples; how I credit and link to sources; how I handle corrections, with a sample correction notice; and how I respond to reader complaints. Keep it to one page and add a pre-send checklist of ten items. Include a policy on using AI tools for drafting, requiring human fact-checking of every claim. Include a clear method for deciding whether a piece fits: ask whether it helps a reader do something, learn something checked, or choose between options. Add a rule for how I handle an item I want to include but cannot verify: leave it out or label it as unconfirmed. Provide a short note for guest contributors explaining these standards in a friendly way.
