Newsroom transparency

How We Use AI in Our Newsroom

Artificial Intelligence helps our newsroom work faster.

It does not replace editorial judgement.

At Leverage On Heroes Media, AI is used as an editorial assistant — not as the final decision-maker.

How AI Helps

AI assists our newsroom with tasks including:

  • Monitoring thousands of news sources
  • Identifying breaking developments
  • Summarising large volumes of information
  • Suggesting headlines
  • Language refinement
  • Article categorisation
  • Internal linking
  • Metadata generation
  • Accessibility improvements
  • Video narration preparation
  • Hero Intelligence brief generation

Human Editorial Oversight

Editorial decisions remain under human control.

Editors review published content to ensure it meets our standards for:

  • Accuracy
  • Fairness
  • Context
  • Clarity
  • Public interest

AI suggestions may be accepted, modified or rejected.

Source Verification

We do not treat AI-generated information as a source.

Every published article is based on information obtained from:

  • Original reporting
  • Official statements
  • Court records
  • Government publications
  • Trusted news organisations
  • Publicly available documents

Where appropriate, multiple independent sources are used.

Transparency

Where AI substantially assists in producing newsroom features such as Hero Intelligence briefings, readers are informed through our editorial documentation.

Our objective is transparency — not replacing journalism.

Continuous Improvement

Our newsroom continually evaluates AI systems for:

  • Accuracy
  • Bias
  • Reliability
  • Safety
  • Editorial quality

We regularly improve our workflows as technology evolves.

Our Commitment

Technology should strengthen journalism — not replace it.

Our commitment remains to publish journalism that is accurate, responsible and worthy of our readers' trust.
