CityAge is built on human insight, human intuition, and the spark of human creation. We produce our own journalism and original content, building on our founder's decades of experience working at the top levels of media nationally and internationally. Everything we publish is directed, shaped, and approved by people.
We use AI tools extensively — for research, data analysis, drafting, and image generation — because we believe they are among the most powerful instruments ever created for journalism and intelligence work. But the instruments do not play themselves. We direct the AI we use.
We also credit and value the human-generated content we build upon. We do not go behind paywalls. We respect copyright. We link to original sources whenever possible, because we respect the journalists, researchers, and creators whose work informs ours. Their labour makes what we do possible, and we honour it.
We are transparent. Every piece of content has a human in the loop. When we make mistakes — and we will — we correct them as quickly as we can.
That is the essence of TheHumanTouch.AI.
Our Commitments
Human Direction
Every article, every editorial decision, every published piece is directed and approved by people. AI assists. Humans lead.
Original Journalism
We produce our own content built on decades of editorial experience in national and international media. We are not an aggregator.
Transparency
We use AI tools and we say so. We believe transparency builds trust, and trust is the foundation of good journalism.
Respect for Sources
We do not go behind paywalls. We respect copyright. We link to original sources because the journalists, researchers, and creators whose work informs ours deserve recognition.
Accountability
When we make mistakes, we correct them as quickly as we can. If you spot an error, contact us at info@cityage.com.
