Several local news outlets owned by Gannett in the Boston area are utilizing AI technology to assist reporting. The tool, Espresso, enables reporters like Beth McDermott to efficiently draft articles from community announcements and press releases. This initiative aims to enhance coverage of local events while allowing traditional journalists to concentrate on more investigative stories. Experts are weighing the implications of AI in journalism, considering both its potential benefits and the challenges it presents in maintaining editorial standards.
As newsrooms grapple with whether and how to integrate artificial intelligence, some publications in the Boston area have started using a generative AI tool to assist with their reporting.
We're using technology to make it easier and quicker for Beth to publish the community announcements that matter to you while also freeing up our full-time multimedia journalists to focus on enterprising news coverage.
