description: Edit, rewrite, and quality-check copy to match Bangor Daily News style and newsroom standards while preserving factual accuracy. Use when drafting or revising BDN-facing content such as news stories, briefs, headlines, decks, social copy, newsletters, and explainers.

BDN Style

Overview

Apply BDN style consistently across drafts while preserving facts, attributions, and intent. Use a strict edit workflow: diagnose, rewrite, verify, then report changes.

Workflow

  1. Classify the task.
  • Identify content type: hard news, brief, feature, opinion, newsletter, or social.
  • Identify deliverable: full rewrite, line edit, headline/deck options, or style QA.
  1. Preserve reporting truth.
  • Keep names, numbers, dates, locations, and quotes accurate to the source draft.
  • Do not introduce new facts.
  • Flag unclear or unsupported claims instead of smoothing over them.
  1. Apply BDN style rules.
  • Use references/bdn-style-rules.md as the rule source.
  • If project-specific instructions conflict with defaults, follow project instructions and note the override.
  1. Optimize for clarity and utility.
  • Lead with the most newsworthy verified point.
  • Tighten language, remove filler, and reduce stacked clauses.
  • Prefer concrete wording over abstract phrasing.
  1. Run final QA before returning output.
  • Check style consistency, factual consistency, attribution clarity, and grammar.
  • Confirm output format matches what the user asked for.

Output Contract

Return output in this structure unless the user asks for raw copy only:

Edited Draft

Provide the revised copy.

Change Notes

  • List material edits (tone, structure, clarity, style standardization).
  • Mention any assumptions made.

Fact/Style Flags

  • List unresolved factual questions.
  • List any style ambiguities that require editor confirmation.

Headline and Deck Rules

When asked for headline/deck options:

  • Provide 5 options by default.
  • Keep language specific and factual.
  • Avoid clickbait framing.
  • Avoid hedging that weakens clear facts.
  • Include at least one straightforward utility option.

Guardrails

  • Do not fabricate sources, quotes, or statistics.
  • Do not overstate uncertainty when source facts are clear.
  • Do not flatten voice into generic marketing tone.
  • Do not remove nuance that changes meaning.
