At Sapulpa Times, we believe journalism should remain human-centered, locally grounded, and accountable.

We may use AI-assisted tools during parts of the production process, including transcription, formatting, headline brainstorming, summarization, and adapting existing reporting into formats such as newsletters, podcasts, or social media posts.

However, all original reporting, interviews, fact gathering, editorial judgment, and publishing decisions are made by human journalists and editors.

We do not rely on AI to independently report news, conduct interviews, verify facts, or publish stories without human review.

Our goal is to use modern tools responsibly in order to improve efficiency, expand local coverage, and spend more time focused on meaningful journalism that serves Sapulpa and the surrounding community.

If you have questions or concerns about the use of AI in our work, please reach out to us.
