WeNepal uses automation openly. Tools help its staff find, sort and draft, and some routine stories publish automatically. What makes that trustworthy is the published rule set around it.
- A draft that fails is fixed once automatically. If it still fails, it is not published.
- Sensitive stories need two independent sources or an official primary source.
- Automatic stories carry their own byline, LacNova AI, WeNepal’s own newsroom AI.
- Corrections are made on the story, with a dated note, and listed in public.
