🚨 Breaking through the noise in investigative journalism? AI tools are your secret weapon—and Episode 6 of Journalism Talks (October 2025) unpacks three essentials that are transforming how we dig deep and deliver truth.

From data chaos to real-time alerts, these apps aren’t just handy; they’re lifelines for reporters dodging burnout in a 24/7 news cycle.

🔍 Pinpoint (Google Journalist Studio): Upload docs, audio, and video—then let AI transcribe, search entities, and build timelines for those epic investigations. Query like a chatbot: “Show corruption links in these emails.” Free, powerful, and built for breaking news fact-checks.

📝 Otter.ai: The 2025 transcription standard—auto-captures interviews and meetings with 95% accuracy, tags speakers, and summarizes key quotes. Hours saved on edits? Check. Multilingual magic for global scoops? Double check.

🕵️ Visualping: Free web monitor that pings you on site changes—track gov updates, press releases, or sneaky edits in real time. Set alerts for specific sections and stay scoop-ready without endless refreshing.

Journalists and storytellers: If you’re chasing leads or verifying virals, this ep’s your toolkit upgrade. Listen now on Spotify/Apple Podcasts—link in comments. What’s your must-have AI for the field? Share below! 👇
