Our commitment to transparency and journalistic integrity
At Shockwave.US, we believe in transparency and journalistic integrity. This page explains how artificial intelligence (AI) and automated tools are used in our editorial process to help us deliver better news coverage and analysis.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide independent political news and commentary with truthful reporting and fearless analysis. To better serve our readers, we leverage technology—including AI tools—as part of our editorial workflow.
Humans remain involved at every stage of the process. AI and automated tools are assistants, not replacements for human judgment, editorial oversight, and journalistic ethics.
How We Use AI
🎯 Story Selection
AI tools help us identify emerging political stories, track trends, and monitor multiple news sources. This allows us to quickly assess which stories are most relevant to our readers and most aligned with our mission.
Editorial decisions are always made by humans.
⚖️ Content Analysis
We use AI to help analyze political statements, verify claims, and identify factual inconsistencies. This assists our editorial team in fact-checking and ensuring accuracy in our reporting.
All analysis is reviewed and verified by human journalists.
🎭 Remaining Unbiased
AI tools help us identify potential bias in our coverage, ensuring we present multiple perspectives and maintain our commitment to independent journalism. We use automated analysis to detect patterns that might indicate slant or incomplete coverage.
Final editorial decisions rest with our human editorial team.
📊 Constitutional & Legal Analysis
Our Magnitude Rating system and Constitutional Analysis features use AI to help identify relevant amendments, legal precedents, and constitutional principles. This enables our editorial team to provide more thorough and accurate analysis.
All legal analysis is subject to human review and editorial oversight.
