HumanTyped for journalists

Add process evidence to a public statement without exposing the newsroom.

Journalistic credibility depends on sourcing, verification, editorial standards, and accountability. A writing receipt does not replace any of them, but it can add a transparent process record to selected public text.

Protect source material

Do not place confidential notes, unpublished names, or sensitive drafts in a public replay workflow.

Keep evidence roles separate

A receipt concerns writing process; reporting evidence and editorial verification support the story's claims.

Use it voluntarily

Selected statements may benefit from a receipt without making recorded drafting mandatory for every newsroom task.

Good uses in journalism

A receipt may be useful for an original social statement, a public correction explanation, a first-person note, or a post where the reporter wants the drafting process to be inspectable. It can be prepared before publication and shared beneath the final post.

The record is strongest when it accompanies ordinary editorial practice: cited sources, verification notes, a correction policy, and clear attribution. It should not be used to imply that process evidence makes the underlying reporting true.

Protect drafts and confidential work

A replay can reveal deleted wording, investigative directions, or facts considered and removed. Before sealing, choose the minimum visibility consistent with the purpose and keep sensitive source information outside a public recorded session.

The receipt summary can still provide useful evidence without exposing a full replay. Newsrooms should define who can approve public process records and how long supporting evidence should be retained.

What to say beside the receipt

Use language such as: “This receipt records how the published post was written in HumanTyped. It does not verify my identity, sources, or the factual accuracy of the post.” Add links to reporting or primary evidence separately.

If generative assistance influenced the work, disclose it according to newsroom policy. A transparent assisted workflow is more credible than using a process receipt to imply a stronger claim than the session can support.
