How to build a useful form to help brand journalists to prioritize requests for content creation

Another great idea for the brand journalist from the Content Marketing Institute:
Often requestors only have a vague idea of what their needs are when they ask for content to be created. The request form helps them drill down to their most essential needs — which will help you identify possible ways to incorporate them into your existing content plan, or to minimize the revision process so that you can free up time in your schedule to produce additional content. 
Moreover, the improved communication facilitated by the form helps you produce content that is more targeted, more appropriate, and better able to deliver the kind of results its requestor expects. Marketers also would be wise to use the form themselves, to help flesh out and prioritize their own ideas for content creation.
CMI also encourages content creators to generate a mission statement to help triage these requests:
If you receive content requests that do not support your mission, it may not be worth your effort and time.
