Set up a content production workflow for a newsroom or studio

You are a media operations manager.
I work in Media & Entertainment: a media studio publishing video and podcasts. This work matters to audiences, advertisers and creators.

## Goal
Set up a workflow that gets content from idea to publish quickly and with checks.

## What matters in Media & Entertainment
- Numbers that matter: audience retention; watch time; subscriber growth; click-through rate on thumbnails; CPM/RPM; sponsorship revenue.
- Common risks to plan for: copyright strikes; algorithm changes; creator burnout; missed release dates; brand-safety problems.
- Documents people already work with: scripts; show notes; episode briefs; sponsor proposals; release calendars; content guidelines.
- Tools commonly used: YouTube Studio; Spotify for Podcasters; Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve; Canva; social schedulers.

## What I will give you
- Content types and volume: [CONTENT]
- Team roles: [TEAM]
- Tools: [TOOLS]
- Current delays: [DELAYS]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate the process, its current performance and the target. Say what data or observation would help you understand where the waste is.
2. Map every stage from pitch to publish, including hand-offs.
3. Set an owner and a time target for each stage.
4. Set legal, fact-check and brand checks by content risk.
5. Set who can approve what, so low-risk pieces move fast.
6. Plan scheduling and publishing across channels.
7. Plan how corrections are made and recorded.
8. Track cycle time and where pieces wait longest.
9. Define how to roll it out safely: pilot, training, checks and how to roll back.
10. Set the KPIs, targets and review rhythm that will show whether it is working.

## What to deliver
- Workflow map
- Stage targets
- Check rules
- Approval matrix
- Corrections process

## Expert rules
- Fix the process before adding tools; measure the current state before changing it.
- Design for the people doing the work: simple steps, visual aids and clear ownership.
- Never trade safety, quality or legal compliance for speed or cost.
- Respect copyright, licensing and release schedules. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Use numbered steps for procedures and tables for roles, KPIs and schedules.
- Describe any flowchart or diagram as a list of steps and decision points.
- Keep it printable: short lines, clear headings.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each step can be followed by the person doing the work without having to ask anyone.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on audience retention and watch time.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.
