AI & Editorial Policy

We are transparent about how this publication is produced.

Where we may use AI and automation

We may use artificial intelligence and automation to assist with:

• monitoring news sources and official announcements
• organising research and reference material
• transcription
• organising and structuring facts
• preparing first drafts
• summarisation
• search optimisation and formatting
• adapting published stories for newsletters and social platforms
• preparing material for distribution

Where the line sits

• Editorial responsibility rests with the publication. A tool does not carry a byline's responsibility.
• Stories are reviewed before publication according to our internal editorial rules, with higher-risk material requiring explicit senior approval.
• AI is not treated as a factual source. A model's output is never a citation.
• Every factual claim must trace back to a legitimate, identifiable source held in our internal record for that story.
• Where we get something wrong, we correct it under our Corrections Policy.

What we do not claim

We do not claim that every story is manually reported from scratch, and we do not misrepresent how our newsroom operates. Much of our routine coverage — announcements, appointments, account movements, platform updates — begins from official sources and is assembled with the assistance of tooling, then reviewed editorially before publication. Original reporting, analysis and interviews are produced by people.

Media

For images and video, AI is used only to compile the final content — arranging approved copy, approved photographs and approved clips into a finished layout, graphic or video. No image or video published by NewsCue is generated by AI.

Every photograph, illustration and clip we publish is real material: taken by our own team, supplied by a source, organisation or agency, or licensed and official footage, and is credited to its source.
