Automation and AI methodology
How African Daily Post uses automated research and drafting tools.
Research
Automated systems discover candidate news through feeds and web search and compare candidates with existing stories. Duplicate screening is automated. Source links are retained and displayed when available.
Drafting
A drafting model receives collected reporting context. It is instructed to preserve names, numbers, uncertainty and attribution and to avoid invented quotes or first-hand claims. Publication does not imply that a human factual review occurred.
Publication
Reports may be published automatically under an organizational newsroom byline. Automation does not guarantee accuracy; readers can inspect any available source links and use the corrections process.
