The most journalist-appropriate AI research tool — every answer cites its source. Use it to quickly find background information, statistics, and source material. Always verify primary sources before publishing.
Transcribe interviews in real-time. Free tier gives 300 minutes/month. Saves hours of manual transcription. Speaker identification makes multi-source interviews easy to parse.
Use Claude as an editorial thinking partner: outline structure, identify gaps in your reporting, and draft nut grafs. Never use AI to generate quotes or invent facts.
AI-assisted fact-checking tool used by newsrooms. Cross-references claims against verified databases. Helps journalists flag potentially inaccurate statements before publication.
Using AI for research, transcription, and structural assistance is broadly accepted. Using AI to write quotes, fabricate sources, or publish unverified AI-generated claims violates journalistic ethics and many outlets' policies.
Investigative reporting, source development, and storytelling that requires human judgment and relationships — no. Commodity content (sports scores, earnings reports, weather) is already being generated by AI at major outlets.
