How does Barrhaven Bugle verify local news?
Barrhaven Bugle treats social posts and community chatter as leads, not publishable facts. Local factual claims need a traceable source, and a human editor reviews each issue before publication.
What counts as stronger sourcing?
Official city records, school-board updates, public agency notices, direct business materials, and named accountable sources are stronger than unsourced social posts. Lower-tier leads need independent confirmation before they become newsletter copy.
How AI fits into the process
AI tools may help organize research, summarize sources, draft checklists, and prepare packets. They do not publish the newsletter or approve their own output.
