It’s Not You It’s Me Media (INYIM) uses technology to support journalism—not replace it. Our commitment: human judgment, human accountability, and clear disclosure.
What AI Can Be Used For
- Transcription & organization: Turning interviews into text; structuring notes.
- Research assistance: Locating public sources or background (always verified by humans).
- Headline/SEO ideation: Generating options that editors refine.
- Utility tasks: Image resizing, caption checks, format conversions.
What AI Is Not Used For
- Original reporting: Interviews, observations, and analysis are human-led.
- Fabricated quotes/facts: Never.
- Automated publishing: We do not auto-publish AI-generated articles.
- Image manipulation that deceives: No synthetic imagery presented as documentary evidence.
Human Oversight
- Editorial review: Any AI-assisted text is edited and fact-checked by humans before publication.
- Source verification: Claims found via AI tools are independently verified.
- Bias awareness: Editors assess potential tool bias and mitigate with diverse human review.
Disclosure
- If AI materially shapes an article’s presentation (e.g., notable drafting aid, AI-generated visual), we disclose that to readers.
- Routine utilities (transcription, grammar linting) typically don’t require disclosure.
Data, Privacy & Security
- Sensitive info is protected: We do not input confidential or embargoed materials into unsecured tools.
- Copyright respect: We avoid using tools in ways that infringe creator rights.
