‘The goal is not to replace the journalists in the newsroom or to decrease their numbers. It’s not even to increase production. Instead, it’s to grow the newsroom’s reporting and give reporters more time.’
In this Cleveland newsroom, AI is writing (but not reporting) the news.
Cleveland.com is embracing AI tools, including an AI rewrite desk.

@js What little time I've spent using AI for my insignificant podcast, the most useful/time saving use for me has been the summary generation. Is it accurate? Usually, and I can easily tweak it when needed. But the thing that it completely lacks is voice.

@mikeneumann I guess it's easier for journalists to start with an ai overview, then sprinkle in some voice? as it sounds like they are doing here, freeing them up to get out there in the real world and dig up facts.
I still think human synthesis seems an important part of the process, but maybe not equally in all traditional newspaper content (high school sports recaps etc)
