At this time, The State Press has verified the validity and accuracy of the sources the reporter spoke with for the majority of the stories.
The State Press has a zero-tolerance policy for using generative AI for any published content. The consequences for any reporter or writer using AI to compose any part of a story is immediate termination from their position at The State Press and a potential report to the standards board of their corresponding college or school at Arizona State University.
The State Press does not condone the use of generative AI in our content and apologizes to the ASU community.
