About The Daily Central Coast
A complete daily account of Central Coast: news, events, property and the people and institutions that shape the city. Editorially independent, and always on.
Part of The Daily Network, a group of local news sites under common ownership and produced centrally by one small team. We are editorially independent, and our articles are produced with AI assistance and automation under human oversight and our editorial standards.
The Daily Central Coast is an AI-assisted newsroom, produced by a small, technology-led team, built to cover Central Coast in full, every day. We track local government, business, courts, property, sport and community life, and turn what is happening into clear, useful reporting. Articles display linked sources where they underpin the reporting, so readers can check the original record.
How we produce our journalism
AI assists with research, summarising and drafting from named public sources. Automated checks assess sourcing, accuracy and editorial risk before publication, and sensitive material is held for human review. Our public standards explain the role of AI and human oversight without exposing private security controls or operating methods.
Articles are bylined to the publication or desk, for example “The Daily Central Coast”, not to an invented human author. We do not use fake personas or fabricated bios. For a full explanation of how we use AI, what is automated and what a human controls, see our editorial standards page.
Founder and publisher
Shane Anderson is the Founder. The sites share common ownership as part of the Daily Network and are produced centrally by one small, technology-led team rather than by a separate newsroom in each city, so the publisher is not necessarily a local resident of Central Coast. The Network is editorially independent of any large media group, political organisation or institutional investor. The publisher sets editorial policy, maintains the content safeguards and is accountable for what appears under the masthead. For full detail on who operates and funds this site, see our editorial standards page. Corrections can be requested at corrections@dailynetwork.news.
Corrections
We correct errors quickly and transparently. When we update a piece, we note the change on the article so the correction is on the record. If you spot something wrong, our contact page explains how to report it and what we commit to.
