How KSNews uses automation responsibly
Automated newsroom
KSNews uses automated systems to collect source material, group related reports, assess news value, prepare writing and generate deterministic sports graphics. Published stories identify the reporting sources used.
Evidence and uncertainty
The system is designed to omit unsupported roster, injury, transfer and match claims rather than guess. Rumours and confirmed events must remain distinct, and current-player relationships require an authoritative roster signal.
Review and corrections
High-risk or insufficiently supported drafts can be held for editorial review or rejected. Material corrections should update the story transparently and preserve the underlying source record.
Images
Graphics and photographs follow separate provenance rules. A generated poster is not evidence for a news claim. Where a licensed or attributed image is unavailable, the site may display a neutral placeholder.
