AI Writing Detox vs Data Journalism

AI Writing Detox

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Strip AI-sounding phrases and jargon from your writing to make it sound human and trustworthy.

Data Journalism

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Turn datasets into stories with cleaning, analysis, and visualization workflows.

AI Writing Detox

• Flags and suggests replacements for AI signature words like 'delve', 'robust', 'leverage', and 'tapestry'
• Identifies empty phrases and throat-clearing ('It's important to note that...', 'In today's landscape...') and removes them
• Catches corporate jargon, hedges, and hyperbolic claims that make writing sound generic
• Enforces sentence case for headings and simpler sentence structures
• Runs a verbal tic test to ensure your writing sounds like something you'd actually say

Data Journalism

• Cleans messy datasets by standardizing formats, handling missing values, and flagging duplicates
• Guides you through the full data journalism process from hypothesis to publication
• Provides templates for methodology documentation and story structure
• Connects you to major public data sources like Census Bureau, BLS, FDA, and state portals
• Handles common data problems like inconsistent dates, outliers, and similar names
