In recent contract negotiations with parent company Gannett, a local newsroom union is fighting over the extent to which generative AI will be used for news content generation.
As media organizations adopt more generative AI capabilities, unions perceive themselves as defenders of journalistic integrity and job retention.
The removal of a clause specifying AI's use as supplementary, not a replacement, in a contract draft raises concerns about job security for union members.
Unions, like the NewsGuild of New York affiliated with the Democrat & Chronicle's union, fear AI's increasing presence in newsrooms may jeopardize their positions.
