New from me in @pressgazette: A former Cycling News editor has co-founded an AI-powered publishing platform. He knows AI faces scepticism in the industry. “The key thing is that journalists are the ones that take ownership of how automation happens”.

Reminds me of the Sony Bravia 'bouncy balls' ad. The fact that it was all done IRL made it so much more appealing.
