"This paper follows AI-enabled disinformation from production through distribution and monetisation. It considers what detection tools can and cannot establish and places verification within the wider work of journalism and public communication. The practical value lies in helping readers recognise manipulated material, evaluate claims carefully and respond without amplifying falsehoods. It is relevant to newsroom verification practice, journalism education and wider efforts to strengthen information integrity. Useful for newsroom and education planning today."
