AI for Journalists & Writers

What you’ll explore

• Apply the journalist’s AI ethics framework of accuracy, attribution and transparency, distinguish the risk profiles of AI for research and AI for writing, and keep confidential sources and protected material out of AI tools
• Use AI for background research and information synthesis on material they supply, producing a claim ledger that separates facts, claims and gaps instead of asking AI to tell them what is true
• Structure stories and articles with AI, and draft headlines (search, engagement and straight) and openings that the story fully supports, keeping the newsworthy call and their own voice
• Apply AI for sub-editing, plain language and clarity without changing meaning, and maintain fact-checking discipline through a verification log for every fact, quote and statistic AI touched
• Package a finished article as platform-specific social copy without adding a single new fact, and disclose AI assistance honestly to editors and, where relevant, readers
