"This report focuses on the tools journalists can use to check claims and assess digital material. It treats tool outputs as evidence to be evaluated rather than final answers, and places verification within a human editorial process. Readers gain a practical frame for selecting and using AI-supported fact-checking methods while recognising limits, false positives and context requirements. The guidance supports newsroom workflows and training for journalists facing increasingly convincing synthetic content. Useful for newsroom and education planning today."
