This relates to the date the news item was created. Let’s say your office holds an annual event, and you posted a news item about it last year. As the event approaches again this year, should you create a new news post? Yes.

If you edited the post from the previous year with updated information, the date of creation will remain that of a year ago, so it will not be included in �鶹��Ƶ Daily, nor will it move to the top of your site's news feed. Re-editing old news posts is something you want to avoid for other reasons as well, including that subscribers to your news feed will not receive notification of a new post.

When assembling �鶹��Ƶ Now, the �鶹��Ƶ Marketing and Communications staff uses a tool called a news aggregator. This tool collects news items posted by departments and offices based on the date the news items were created. The news aggregator searches for news posts created within a set number of days; therefore, any posts created before that time frame will not show up in the news aggregator.

Some common scenarios in which this is a problem:

• Someone creates a news post on August 5, but checks it in instead of submitting it. The person resumes working on the post August 15 and submits it for publishing. While this post will be published for your website, it will not appear in the news aggregator and, therefore, will not appear in �鶹��Ƶ Now. The publishing of content for the website and the inclusion of content in �鶹��Ƶ Now are two separate functions.
• Someone who is not a web maintainer suggests a news item on a department website, or a site author submits a news item in the CMS. But, the approvers for that website do not realize they have content awaiting their approval until two weeks have passed. Again, because the date of creation was two weeks earlier, this content will be published for the website, but won’t appear in �鶹��Ƶ Now. 

One of the best ways to avoid this situation is for website approvers to set up their profiles to request email notification when they have content awaiting their approval.
