BUILDING TOOLS AND TRAINING NEWSROOMS

AP’s Local News AI helps U.S. local newsrooms to identify and adopt artificial
intelligence-based solutions. The program surveyed the U.S. local news landscape
on AI readiness, published a report of the findings and created a six-unit
course to teach to knowledge interests in AI and news. The program also
developed blueprints for 15 newsroom projects that use AI and then created tools
for five of those newsrooms.

The Local News AI initiative is made possible by the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation.


NARROWING THE TECHNOLOGY GAP BETWEEN NATIONAL AND LOCAL NEWSROOMS

AP worked with five newsrooms and university development teams at Northwestern
University, Stanford University, and the University of Missouri to build these
projects. The code base is available for use for free when indicated at AP’s
GitHub repository, click the relevant blurbs below to access.

Introduction
