Keep in mind…
If the idea for a topic comes from your team, great. But dontexpect it.
Let your idea be checked externally. Talk after the feasibility studywith your team, now get them on board. But not before.
Dont take time away from your editors. Automated content shouldhelp, not disturb. All basics must be delivered, only the perfect last
cut is up to your editorial room.
