AI-assisted newsroom
Daily Cruncher Desk
The Daily Cruncher Desk byline is for articles that started as drafts written by AI. The AI writes to standards and instructions set by our editors, and automated compliance rules check every draft before it is published. A Desk article carries advertising only after one of our editors has read it in full, checked its facts against reliable sources and edited it; the article then names that editor and the date. Without that review it carries no ads, and the line under its byline says no editor has reviewed it. When a reader reports an error, we check it and correct the article. How this works is set out in our editorial policy at dailycruncher.com/editorial-policy; report errors to webmaster@dailycruncher.com.
