Responsible AI in the Newsroom

AI can speed up parts of media work, but editorial judgement and verification must stay human. The goal is responsible assistance, not automation of trust.

Where AI helps

• Research and summarisation of background material.
• Drafting and restructuring, with a human editor in control.
• Production support for visuals and short-form content.

Where human judgement must lead

Sourcing, accuracy, fairness and context are editorial responsibilities. AI output is a starting point, never the final word.

A practical verification workflow

• Treat every AI claim as unverified until checked.
• Confirm facts against primary, reliable sources.
• Keep a record of what was AI-assisted.

Transparency and attribution

Be clear with audiences and colleagues about where AI was used, and credit sources properly.
