Daily article operations guide
Plan a source-access fallback for remote article research
Keep paywalls, blocked pages, and missing permissions from producing unsupported filler.

Where the routine breaks
When an assigned source cannot be opened, a researcher may lose time or rely on a search snippet that lacks context.
A workable daily rule
Name acceptable source types and a stop condition before research begins. A fallback replaces access, not the evidence standard.
Make the handoff explicit
The assistant logs the inaccessible URL and error, then offers an accessible primary source or returns the gap to the editor.
Check the result
Open every cited page from a clean session and confirm that nearby wording matches the accessible evidence.
Keep ownership clear
A Philippines-based assistant can prepare records, run repeatable checks, and raise exceptions. The editor retains authority over claims and publication. Legal, security, financial, and business exceptions stay with their authorized owners.
