What happened
The topic field is currently undefined, and live web browsing is not enabled. To deliver a newsroom-grade, viral-style article that cites at least three authoritative U.S. sources published in the last four hours, we need either: (1) a specific topic/keyword, or (2) permission to browse the web in real time. Once we have that, we’ll turn around a fully sourced, share-ready story—fast.
Why it matters
Viral U.S. news moves at the speed of swipe. If we don’t lock a topic and confirm fresh sources, the story won’t rank in Google Top Stories or spark on socials. Give us a green light now and we’ll combine AP-level accuracy with thumb-stopping hooks, optimized for American readers 18–40. Translation: more clicks, more shares, more watch-time—without the cringe.
Context & background
Per your instructions, every package must be built on fresh, verifiable facts. Our standard operating playbook:
- Scan and cite 3+ authoritative U.S. outlets—think AP, Reuters, NYT, WaPo, NPR, Bloomberg, ABC/CBS/NBC, major local papers, or official .gov/.edu releases—published within the past 4 hours.
- Write an inverted-pyramid lead that answers who/what/when/where/why/how in ~70 words, with a hooky, social-savvy edge.
- Layer in SEO: primary keyword in H1, slug, intro, and at least one H2; US-centric phrasing; snippet-friendly structure.
- Package for virality: punchy subheads, pop-culture nods, crisp bullets, and a clear timeline for what’s next.
We’ll also include:
- Updated timestamps in ET (and PT if useful)
- Source attributions inline using [[source:…]]
- Key takeaways box and FAQs styled like “People Also Ask”
- 2+ internal links such as best-online-certifications and how-to-start-a-newsletter
Quick topic options (pick one or type your own)
- Breaking government/SCOTUS ruling impacting rights, money, or daily life in the U.S.
- Big tech or AI policy move with immediate user or investor impact.
- Severe weather, wildfire, or hurricane updates affecting travel and safety.
- Sports playoffs bombshell, record-setting game, or star injury update.
- Celebrity legal twist, sudden album/film drop, or viral TikTok-driven trend.
- Market shock: inflation print, Fed signal, crypto spike, or mega-merger.
Or send the exact keyword you want to rank for—for example: “Powerball jackpot,” “student loan forgiveness,” “government shutdown,” “Taylor Swift cameo,” or “Bitcoin ETF surge.”
What you’ll get the moment we have a topic
- Hooky H1 (≤70 chars) with the primary keyword
- Snippet-ready intro and scannable subheads: “What happened,” “Why it matters,” “Context,” “What to watch next”
- Fact-checked data points with citations: [[source:AP]], [[source:Reuters]], [[source:Bloomberg]] (or equivalent)
- Image suggestions, Key Takeaways, Pros & Cons (when relevant), and FAQs
- Clean SEO: US-centric terms, shareable phrasing, and a strong slug
- We can’t cite fresh sources without a topic or live browsing.
- Once enabled, we’ll source 3+ authoritative U.S. outlets published within 4 hours.
- Expect a viral-ready story with keyword-first H1, social hooks, and clear timeline.
- You’ll get internal links like best-online-certifications to boost recirculation.

If you want us to pre-bake a standing package while we wait, we can prep evergreen modules (about page-level links, CTAs, and internal recirculation blocks like how-to-start-a-newsletter) so the live piece ships even faster.
Bottom line: Drop the topic or flip on browsing, and we’ll file a viral, verified U.S. news package—complete with sources, SEO, and social sparkle.
