Each Ajako Taja article summarises what several outlets are reporting about one story, so you can understand it in a few minutes.

How an article is laid out

  1. Headline and details

    The category, headline, publication time and how many outlets covered the story. An Updated time appears if the article was edited after it was published.

  2. The byline

    Who published the article, and a link to how we use AI (see below).

  3. AI Summary

    The story in a few lines, at the top of the article.

  4. The article

    A short lead, then the key details, background and why it matters. Sections are left out when the sources don't support them.

  5. How outlets covered it

    The original reports the article is based on, each linking to the outlet's own article.

Who writes the articles?

Articles are drafted by an AI language model from the outlets' reports, in its own words, and checked automatically for quality and content policy. A member of our team reviews every article and publishes it. Nothing is published automatically.

What the byline means

The byline under the headline says who published the article. This one shows the team name; it names the editor when they have a public profile.

An article byline reading: Drafted by AI from the sources below, published by the Ajako Taja Editorial Team, with a How we use AI link
  • "Drafted by AI from the sources below, published by …": a person on our team reviewed and published the article.
  • "… fact-checked by …": an editor also checked the article against its sources (headline, names, numbers, dates and attribution) and recorded a sign-off. If the text is changed afterwards, the sign-off is removed until an editor checks it again.

Not every article carries a fact-check sign-off, so look for the words "fact-checked by".

Limits to keep in mind

Summaries save time but can lose nuance, and AI can occasionally get a detail wrong. For health, legal, financial or safety decisions, always read the original sources. If you spot a mistake, please report it.
