At Weekly Chronicle, our aim is to make news clear, accessible and useful. Artificial intelligence (AI) can help us prepare and present information, and we believe readers should understand the role it may play in the content we publish.
We may use AI tools to organise and summarise source material, assist with translation, draft or rewrite articles, suggest headlines and improve readability. This can include generating substantial portions of an article. The extent of AI assistance may vary between pieces of content.
Weekly Chronicle remains responsible for what appears on this website, regardless of the tools used to produce it. Our editorial standards require factual claims to be checked against reliable sources, quotations to be accurate and traceable, and relevant context and uncertainty to be preserved. AI output alone is not evidence that a claim is true.
Our policy is not to publish invented quotations, sources or eyewitness accounts as genuine reporting. Using AI does not remove the need to acknowledge original sources, respect copyright or obtain permission where required.
Where AI makes a substantial contribution to an article, our policy is to include a clear disclosure alongside that content. If we publish an AI-generated image or illustration, it should be clearly labelled and must not be presented as an authentic photograph of a real event. Image credits and captions should accurately describe the material’s origin.
AI tools can produce errors, omit context or reflect bias. We take concerns about accuracy seriously and aim to investigate reported errors and correct them promptly. Readers can raise a concern or request a correction through our Contact Us page, including the article link and details of the issue.
As technology and our publishing practices develop, we will review this notice and update the date above when it changes. Our commitment remains to clear information, transparent publishing and accountability to our readers.
