AI for Journalists: How to use new technology to write better news?
Information overload is real!
You’re knee-deep in interview notes, research papers, and email threads. You’ve got a story to write, but instead of a smooth workflow, you’re frantically piecing together scraps of information from Slack, old docs, and notebooks from who-knows-when.
Frustrating, right?
The Great Journalist Brain of Chaos includes:
- 147 open browser tabs (all “very important research”)
- Random voice notes titled “DONT DELETE IMPORTANT!!!”
- That One Perfect Quote that you swear exists… somewhere
- Approximately 3,726 screenshots of tweets
- A Google Doc graveyard of “final_FINAL_actualFINAL_v7”
And the cherry on top? When your editor asks: “Hey, can you verify that stat from last week’s interview?”
Your brain: “Did you know otters hold hands while sleeping? Also, we need milk.”
Listen, we need to talk about the elephant in the newsroom: Traditional organization systems are hard to manage.
The current system of juggling interview notes, research, and emails is a time-sucking, anxiety-inducing mess. You’re missing deadlines, losing focus, and—worse—key insights that could make your story fall through the cracks
But what if there was a better way?
Imagine this:
You sit down to write, and boom—everything you need is right in front of you.
- You pull up the key points from that interview with a client two weeks ago.
- You’ve got all the research you gathered last month, perfectly organized and tagged.
- Need that personal anecdote your source shared over email? It’s instantly at your fingertips.
- No more forgotten follow-ups, because your tasks and deadlines are prioritized for you.
Sounds dreamy, right? Well, it’s not. This is exactly what happens when you have Saner.ai in your corner.
