"This paper examines how AI is being used across newsroom work rather than treating adoption as a single decision. It maps applications along the news value chain, compares institutional approaches and draws lessons from international and African examples. Readers can use the cases to assess the gap between experimentation, strategy and staff confidence. The report is especially relevant to newsroom leaders weighing practical benefits against editorial standards, governance needs and resource constraints. Useful for newsroom and education planning today." (This comment was generated using AI)
