Source first Journalists with beginner-to-mixed AI experience
Session Core Guide
This guide explains why the session exists and what it promises: a practical understanding of AI-assisted verification without treating AI as a source.
- A simple definition of AI-assisted verification.
- A central message: AI is a thinking and workflow aid, not a final authority.
- A clear boundary around what the session covers and what it does not.

- A quick picker for which tool to start with and what to verify manually after.
- Practical profiles for eight tools and models.
- A reminder that no tool should be trusted as the final truth on its own.

- Steps suitable for live demonstration or later reuse.
- A clear split between the role of AI and the role of the journalist.
- A suggested sequence from the simplest case to the most layered one.
