Automation vs. integrity – Balancing AI efficiency with editorial trust

The newsroom temptation is obvious: let AI handle more tasks, save time, and redirect resources. But the risk is equally clear; publishing unverified, inaccurate, or tone–deaf content damages credibility faster than any efficiency gain can repair it. Varun Shetty, Head of Media Partnerships at OpenAI emphasized this point in the recent AP Forward webinar: “The most […]

Individual donors: journalism’s most underused resource

Individual giving represents 80% of all U.S. philanthropy, yet most news organizations focus their fundraising efforts on foundations.

Risk Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All — And Your Protocols Shouldn’t Be Either

One of the clearest takeaways from the AP Forward safety webinar was this: risk is deeply personal. Two journalists covering the same protest may face very different levels of threat — depending on their gender, race, visa status, or public visibility. As Kerry Paterson noted: “Safety isn’t universal. If your fallback plan is ‘run to […]

Why the AP launched a fund for journalism

The AP Fund for Journalism was created in 2024 with a dual mission: to support public service journalism while strengthening the local news ecosystem across America.

These early projects […]

From platforms to products: Owning your audience relationship

As digital platforms shift their priorities—and news becomes increasingly deprioritized in social feeds—newsrooms are rethinking what it means to own the connection with their audience.

During our recent webinar discussing news and AI, Varun Shetty, Head of Media Partnerships at OpenAI revealed: “We’re building a new mental model… we want ChatGPT to be a place […]

Local News Leap of Faith
In this Thursday, April 11, 2019 photo, copies of The Berkshire Eagle newspaper are placed in a machine before being bundled for distribution, in Pittsfield, Mass. The paper now features a new 12-page lifestyle section for Sunday editions, a reconstituted editorial board, a new monthly magazine, and the newspaper print edition is wider. That level of expansion is stunning in an era where U.S. newspaper newsroom employment has shrunk by nearly half over the past 15 years. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)

From print to platform: The digital shift in local news

The digital transformation of the media industry has been underway for decades, but for many local newsrooms, the struggle to balance digital innovation with the realities of print remains very real.
