Our AI use policy
Every story on Newsreel is reported and written by a working journalist and reviewed by an editor before it publishes. AI never writes a story. Here is exactly where we do use it, and where we never will.
Quiz questions. AI drafts the comprehension questions that accompany each story, written in the language of the C3 Framework and state ELA standards.
The built-in dictionary. AI powers plain-language definitions when a reader taps a word or phrase they don't know.
Reading-level support. AI helps build the Grade 8 and Grade 5 support layers that sit on top of the original story. The journalist's story is never rewritten.
Perspectives. AI helps cluster how a contested story is being argued across the internet, so readers can compare the arguments themselves.
Publish an AI-written story. Journalists report and write every story on Newsreel, and an editor reviews it before it publishes.
Show ads or sell reader data. In Newsreel Classroom, students join with a class code, and we never collect student emails, rosters, or personal information.
Let an algorithm decide what you see. The daily stack is chosen by editors and is the same for every reader.
