- One or two quotes to anchor the message in a human voice.
- Three sections: why it matters, what is changing, how to act.
- Internal links to relevant hubs and prior coverage.
- Optional schema (
ArticleorNewsArticle) for machine verifiability.
Submission and Publishing Workflow
- Outline the announcement in three points (why, what, how).
- Draft with headings, short paragraphs, and a single call to action.
- Structure with FAQs if needed; add internal links to hubs and related reading.
- Schema layer: add
ArticleJSON-LD withauthor,datePublished, andaboutentities. - Cross-link in the hub and relevant silos so authority compounds.
Why Editorial Announcements Improve Authority
Announcements document Lex Wire’s institutional actions in a way that AIs can parse: a consistent author entity, repeatable structure, and corroborating links to hubs, partners, and prior coverage. Over time this creates a public, machine-readable record of editorial intent and reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are editorial announcements different from press releases?
Editorial announcements express our perspective and standards. Press releases communicate operational news. Keeping them separate clarifies intent for readers and machines.
Should announcements include external links?
Yes, when they corroborate the story (partner sites, bar associations, prior coverage). Always include at least one internal hub link.
Do we add schema to these pages?
Yes. Use Article or NewsArticle with author, publisher, about, and mainEntityOfPage. This improves citability.
Where do client features fit?
Client features do not belong here. They live in Legal Focus or Thought Leadership and can be referenced from announcements only when relevant.
Can this page act as a hub?
Yes. As we publish more announcements, we will add an index section listing the latest items and link them from the Silo 8 Hub.
