How we evaluate AI tools for editorial workflows
Transcription, summarization, and research assistants — what actually saves time on a news desk.

AI can speed research, but only if the output is easy to verify. Our evaluation rubric is simple.
- Does it cite sources we can open?
- Can an editor correct it without rewriting from scratch?
- Does it keep private drafts private?
Tools that fail any of those checks stay experimental. The rest earn a place in the weekly workflow.
