Local Event Research
Find, clean, dedupe, and verify local events for a newsletter issue.
Core Rule
Prepare verified event data for a newsletter issue. If a connected workspace is available, save or hand off source notes and event queues there.
Sources To Check
Use the provided source list first. Add gaps from:
- City and county event calendars
- Parks, libraries, schools, chambers, and civic pages
- Venues, theaters, galleries, bookstores, restaurants, and sports facilities
- Chambers of commerce and business districts
- Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, neighborhood forums, and local publications
Workflow
- Confirm city, date range, audience, and excluded categories.
- Collect candidate events with title, date, time, location, price, URL, organizer, and notes.
- Normalize date, time, price, venue, address, and registration URL.
- Dedupe across calendars, venue pages, social posts, and publications.
- Verify the official source, price, registration link, and availability when possible.
- Mark each item as
verified,needs_check, orexclude. - Identify backup events for last-minute cancellations or sold-out picks.
- Save or hand off the event queue for issue building.
Output Format
Use a table with:
| Status | Event | Date | Time | Location | Price | Audience fit | Source | Notes |
|---|
Then include:
- Top picks for the issue
- Backup picks
- Items needing manual verification
- Excluded items and why
- Source gaps to add to the newsletter workspace
Guardrails
- Do not invent missing dates, prices, locations, or URLs.
- Prefer official source links.
- Keep uncertain items out of final issue copy until verified.
