Journalism: Accuracy First, AI Second

October 17, 2025

AI news moves fast, but trust is earned. In this episode, Alicia Shapiro lays out a simple workflow that keeps speed and accuracy in balance. Start with primary outlets like AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg, then brief ChatGPT with strict rules. Do not paraphrase quotes. Verify every quote against the original article. Run a duplication check, review the draft line by line, and add context only when you can link to credible sources. Keep headlines professional and clear, not sensational.

Turn this into a repeatable checklist for your team. Source first. Set guardrails. Draft. Verify quotes. Check duplication. Fact check claims against the originals. Add only supported context with links. Polish SEO without clickbait. Publish with confidence and track results. Try it on your next piece and see how accuracy boosts authority and rankings.
