What do you call an article you build around?

[phillr]

Hello. I have a journalism terminology question.

I've received an information press release on a health topic that I will be expanding on into a series of sports health articles.

I was just wondering if there's a special term for such articles that are designed to be 'built-off-of'

phillr, you're a reporter. You represent the free media of the world. Never end a sentence with a preposition.
