It talks about the Cleveland Browns' new head coach.

There's a feature about the area's local port authority.

What's your take on the journalism that it creates?

You mentioned the paper's editor, Chris Quinn.

He wrote about the paper's use of AI in writing articles.

And this letter that he wrote basically outraged a ton of journalists sort of across the world.

Tell me why he's so gung-ho about this.

Yeah, you know, Quinn says they are now covering parts of the state that they weren't, you know, recently.

Is an AI reporter better than no reporter at all?

We'll be right back

You're listening to Marketplace Tech.

I'm Stephanie Hughes.

We're back with Willa Remus, tech reporter at The Washington Post.

I imagine a lot of journalists got into the profession because they like to write.

Isn't the idea with AI that we give it the tasks we don't want to do and save like the fun, thinky ones for ourselves?

I will say, Will, it felt kind of poignant to read this piece in the Washington Post, which has recently dealt with major layoffs, also is experimenting with AI.

How does this all make you feel?

What do you think is the future of AI tools in newsrooms in both the near term and like the medium term?

That's Willer Remus at The Washington Post.
