Spanish term or phrase: sumario periodístico
This is an activity for journalists as part of a brand's "Press Day". At first I thought it was a "pitch" but it seems to be more like an outline for a news piece--is there any specific word for this in English? Below is a description of what they mean by the phrase:

A modo de juego y réplica de la realidad en la que viven los periodistas todos los días en las redacciones, simularemos un timeline muy breve en el que deberán trabajar en conjunto para resolver un desafío que consistirá en que cada país deberá armar un sumario periodístico para una nota de gráfica, radio o TV, con un tiempo determinado.

Durante el tiempo establecido los grupos deberán:

Entender la consigna y repasar el Kit de materiales
˜ Definir el enfoque de la nota
˜ Reunir información
˜ Analizar la información
˜ Realizar entrevistas
˜ Desarrollar la nota o el sumario.

Explanation:
"Write the story or a summary"

I believe you must drop the word "journalistic" here. It is not in the original anyway. They are asking the writer to provide either the full story or an abridged version.

Sorry, it should be "write YOUR story or a summary". "Nota" is "story" in journalism, but the summary they are talking about here is not part of the journalistic jargon, it is just a condensed version or such story.

La palabra 'sumario' tiene otro significado, al que se refiere Wendy, pero no me parece que sea como un outline en este contexto, sino como un resumen.

That said, if 'sumario,' as Wendy suggests, is more like an 'outline' of topics, perhaps 'topics-oriented summary' or something along these line (also -embedded or -infused) may be an option.

  -> Thanks, Phil. Maybe more like a summary or precis than an outline as such, but I'm not so sure. Cheers :-)
