How Lowestoft Wire Uses AI

Our approach to AI

Lowestoft Wire uses AI tools to support parts of the research, planning and drafting process.

This may include helping to organise information, summarise public documents, prepare draft questions, check article structure, improve clarity, or develop first drafts from verified source material.

Editorial judgement

AI does not replace editorial judgement. Articles are reviewed, checked and edited before publication.

Lowestoft Wire aims to base reporting on evidence such as official documents, public records, direct responses, meeting papers, photographs, and named sources where appropriate.

Accuracy and sources

We do not knowingly publish AI-generated claims as fact without checking them against reliable sources.

Where questions remain unanswered, we aim to make that clear.

Responsibility

Lowestoft Wire is a small independent local news website. AI helps with workflow, accessibility and productivity, but responsibility for published content remains with Lowestoft Wire.
