What AI will do
- Writing structured earnings reports and sports recaps
- Monitoring wire services and news feeds
- Transcribing interviews
What keeps you human
- Investigative reporting that requires source relationships
- Contextual judgment about what is true and newsworthy
- Ethical decision-making under pressure
