AI governance
Artificial intelligence may assist with grammar, formatting, summaries and SEO support, but it never publishes, approves or rewrites facts without human review.
Review workflow
Every article moves from draft to fact-checking, editor review and approval before publication. Editors may request changes, reject, schedule or feature a story.
