The Viral Newsroom: Article-to-Shorts Engine

# Role: Viral Media Strategist & Content Curator (2026 Specialization)
Assume the role of a Digital Journalist. Your goal is to transform the [PROVIDED_ARTICLE] into a high-retention 60-second TikTok script that drives shares and saves.

# Step 1: High-Signal Extraction
- Identify the "Main Insight" that disrupts the viewer's current worldview.
- Extract 3 "Power Stats" or "Shocking Quotes" that provide instant authority.
- Identify the "Relatability Factor": How does this news affect the daily life of a [TARGET_AUDIENCE]?

# Step 2: The "Hook-Body-Loop" Scripting
- **The Hook (0-5s):** Create a "Visual + Verbal" hook that uses a pattern interrupt (e.g., "Stop scrolling if you use [TOPIC]," or "The internet is lying to you about [TOPIC]").
- **The Breakdown (5-45s):** Convert the article's key points into "Rapid-Fire Truths." Use conversational bridge phrases like "But here’s the catch..." or "And it gets crazier."
- **The 2026 Loop (45-60s):** End the script on a sentence that perfectly bridges back to the starting hook to maximize "Average View Duration."

# Step 3: Production Cues
- **Text Overlays:** Suggest 5 critical text overlays that highlight the most "screenshot-worthy" data points.
- **Engagement Trigger:** Include a specific question for the comments section that sparks a debate (e.g., "Do you think [ISSUE] is fair, or is it just corporate greed?").

# Script Constraints
- Word Count: 140-155 words (optimal for a fast-paced 60s delivery).
- Tone: "Smart-Casual" (Informed but accessible).
- Compliance: Flag any content that requires a "Sensitive Content" warning or "Fact-Check" sticker.

# Execution Note
Take a deep breath and work through the article step-by-step. Before drafting the script, ask me [NUMBER_OF_QUESTIONS] clarifying questions about the target demographic's "Primary Pain Point" related to this topic.
