Check Article Image Inventory With an Outsourced Assistant
An image inventory check confirms approval, file health, crop behavior, and alt text before a draft reaches publication.

The short answer
A convenient image can create licensing, privacy, or layout trouble. An outsourced assistant should begin with the approved inventory and match a draft to an asset that the site already controls.
The record needs the file path, approval or license owner, dimensions, intended placement, and a plain description of what the image contributes. If the asset contains people, interfaces, or customer information, verify that its approved use covers the page.
Open the rendered image at narrow and wide widths. Check distortion, cropping, file response, and alternative text. Alt text should convey useful visual information, not repeat the headline or stuff keywords into the page.
If no approved asset fits, hold the image decision. The assistant should not download or generate a replacement when the campaign restricts work to existing inventory.
Keep the first version of the image inventory check small enough to inspect. Use a few ordinary items, one correction, and one genuine exception. The assistant should be able to point to the source, the current status, and the person who owns the next decision without relying on a private message.
Review the record at a stated time. A pattern may justify a clearer example, a different field, or better reviewer coverage. One unusual case should stay an exception. Managers still own priorities, sensitive interpretation, payments, access changes, customer promises, and final publication.
