Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the journalist page built around interviews and quote review?
Journalists need fast access to exact wording, timestamps, notable quotes, and source material they can verify before publishing.
Does this workflow replace source checking?
No. It speeds up review, but journalists should still verify sensitive quotes against the original recording and context.
Which journalist recordings work best?
Phone interviews, press briefings, field recordings, and long-form interviews work best when speakers are audible and background noise is controlled.
