How we write editorial

Every piece published under the United States of Europe editorial team byline follows the same process:

1. Pitch

Each morning a scan identifies newsworthy clusters in our source feed — stories from multiple countries that share a common European thread. An AI model proposes 5–8 editorial pitches, each with a headline, angle, and the articles it draws on.

2. Editorial decision

A human editor reviews every pitch. They may approve, steer (adding notes that reshape the angle), hold, or drop it. No piece advances without an explicit editorial go-ahead.

3. Drafting

Approved pitches are drafted by an AI model, guided by our editorial charter. The charter mandates factual accuracy, balanced tone, transparent sourcing, and a pro-European-cooperation perspective that still acknowledges trade-offs.

4. Review and publish

The editor reads the draft, may request a redraft with notes, add corrections, or edit the text directly before publishing. Every published piece lists its source articles so readers can verify claims.

Why this approach?

AI drafting lets a small team cover many countries and languages quickly. Human editorial control ensures accuracy, tone, and editorial judgement. Transparency about the process lets readers decide how much weight to give each piece.
