Source item contained a Reuters headline only, with no article body.
No figures, dates, or quotations were present to verify or rewrite.
Desk policy blocks publication from headline-only feed entries.
The source item received for this desk is a Reuters headline — "Cambodia's garment industry" — with no article body attached. The RSS entry carries only the link and the publication name; no order volumes, factory headcounts, tariff lines, sourcing figures, or executive quotations came through with the payload.
Under this desk's editorial rules, we do not rewrite a story without confirmable substance. Trade coverage of Cambodian apparel supply chains routinely turns on specific commercial facts: buyer order volumes, minimum wage adjustments for the sector's roughly 800,000-plus factory workers, EU Everything But Arms preference status, or US tariff exposure — but none of those specifics appears in the transmitted item, and inventing any of them would violate our sourcing standards.
What should the desk do next?
- Fetch the full Reuters article directly before drafting.
- Confirm whether the story concerns factory-level developments, trade policy, or labour compliance, since each requires a different verification chain.
- Separate any buyer-supplier commitments attributed to named brands from unnamed "market sources" before publication.
Until the article body is retrieved, this item cannot be rewritten. The compliance decision it forces on our side is procedural: no headline-only feed entries go to copy without the underlying text.
