How it is made

Refugee News is made by human editors who write the articles, AI that helps with production, and human reviewers who check the result. AI translates each Korean article into 7 languages, and reviewers who speak those languages check and correct the translations. You can find more in About MAP and Refugee News and the Editorial Guide.
