How To Use The WBN Article Prompt

The easiest way to write for WRN and WBN News is to use an AI service such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or Copilot.

Step 1: Create A Project

Create a new Project inside your AI platform.

Examples:

WRN Articles
My Articles
WBN Writer Workspace
Jenny Holly-Hansen Articles
Peter Comrie Articles

The Project acts as your personal newsroom and keeps all article conversations organized.

Step 2: Create A New File Or Chat

For every new article idea, create a separate file, document, or chat inside the project.

Examples:

Langley Real Estate Update
AI And Small Business
Vancouver Housing Market
Future Of Driverless Taxis
Local Business Spotlight

Think of each file as a separate article assignment.

Step 3: Explain Your Idea In Plain English

You do not need to be a professional writer. Simply tell the AI what you want to write about.

I want to write an article about the impact of Artificial Intelligence on small businesses.

I would like the article to explain:

• How AI is changing daily business operations
• What tools small businesses are using
• Cost savings opportunities
• Potential risks
• What business owners should do next

Do not write the article yet. I will provide the WBN Article Prompt next.

I want to write an article about the Langley real estate market.

Please research:

• Current housing prices
• Inventory levels
• Sales activity
• Market trends
• What buyers and sellers should know

Do not write the article yet. I will provide the WBN Article Prompt next.

The more information you provide, the better the final article will be.

Step 4: Let The AI Research

Allow the AI to gather information, organize facts, and identify important trends.

This step often improves article quality significantly.

The AI may provide:

Market statistics
Industry trends
Important developments
Business implications
Additional story ideas

Review the information and add any additional instructions you want included.

Step 5: Paste The WBN Article Prompt

Once the research is complete, click Copy Full Prompt and paste the official WBN Article Prompt into the same file or chat.

This prompt tells the AI exactly how WBN articles must be formatted.

Step 6: Generate The Article

After the prompt has been added, type:

Please write the article.

The AI will then generate:

Headline
Byline
Excerpt
Full Article
Why It Matters
Tags
Image Prompt
Image Caption
SEO Metadata
Fact Check Review
Editorial Test

All formatted for publication.

Step 7: Review The Draft

Before publishing:

Check names
Check dates
Check numbers
Verify quotations
Confirm sources
Review spelling and grammar

Remember: AI is a writing assistant. The final responsibility for accuracy always belongs to the author.

Step 8: Publish To WBN News

Once approved:

Copy the completed article
Open the WBN News publishing system
Create a new Post
Paste the article into the Post section
Generate the image using the supplied Image Prompt
Upload the image
Add tags and metadata
Publish
