An editable policy template based on a review of 27 published guidelines.
Preview
This template is a starting point, not a finished policy. It is built from a review of 27 published newsroom AI guidelines and reflects the points of convergence between them.
It covers: scope (what counts as AI use), permitted uses, prohibited uses, disclosure thresholds, the role of the named human editor, verification expectations, and a review cycle.
Adapt freely. Adopt only what you can actually enforce — a policy you cannot enforce is worse than no policy at all.
