the volume of articles on this story should make editors reflect

Published by Sam Flores

The death of Jason Arday, following weeks of news coverage of his life and career, has prompted calls for a new inquiry into press standards. The University of Cambridge academic faced an overwhelming volume of comment from international news organisations, broadcasters, digital-native publications and the public on social media. His family said it all had a catastrophic impact on his life. I should underline from the start that I have enormous sympathy for what Arday went through, and my thoughts are with his family and friends. Given the demands from some politicians and pressure groups for a public inquiry into the press’s actions in reporting on Arday, it is worth looking at how newspapers covered the emergence of the plagiarism allegations against him, the claims he made about his life and career, his resignation from Cambridge, his death and the reaction to it. There is a lot of potential material to consider, and a variety of approaches could be employed. Here, I have looked at substantive articles published in the print editions of national newspapers. …

Hearst starts with ‘why’ as journalists asked to produce fewer articles

Hearst starts with ‘why’ as journalists asked to produce fewer articles

Maire Bonheim, head of newsletters at The Telegraph, and Malcolm Coles, audience growth director at Hearst UK, speaking at the Publisher Summit in London in July 2026. Pictures: Media Voices Hearst UK is publishing less articles but “more effective” content overall by asking journalists to explain why they are producing every piece. Meanwhile The Telegraph has reduced its newsletter portfolio from about 40 to 26 brands over the course of an 18-month project to ensure they are “pieces of journalism that should provide quality within the inbox in their own right”. They are among numerous major publishers pivoting away from quantity of content towards quality as Google AI changes continue to lead to falling traffic referrals. Press Gazette previously spoke to Times deputy head of digital Anna Sbuttoni about its own “fewer, better stories” strategy which has seen the number of articles it publishes cut by around 25% in the past two years. Sbuttoni said The Times has had four consecutive months of “all-time record traffic growth” this year according to internal figures. Malcolm Coles, …

The 53 Mail articles vindicated by Prince Harry privacy judgment

The 53 Mail articles vindicated by Prince Harry privacy judgment

Published by Sam Flores

Sir Elton John and David Furnish (left) and Prince Harry (right) arrive at the High Court in London on Monday 27 March 2023 for a hearing in their unlawful information gathering action against Mail publisher Associated Newspapers. Pictures: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images and PA Wire/Jordan Pettitt A High Court judge scrutinised the sourcing of more than 50 Mail articles about Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, Sadie Frost, Liz Hurley and the murder of Stephen Lawrence as he ultimately dismissed allegations of unlawful information gathering. Some 53 Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday articles (plus one unpublished draft) were challenged and accused of being sourced via unlawful means such as phone hacking, phone tapping and blagging. But High Court judge Mr Justice Nicklin has entirely vindicated the Mail’s journalism by finding that its reporters were trustworthy witnesses who were often able to remember how their articles were sourced, even going back two decades. Mr Justice Nicklin also found that payment records were unable to be directly linked to specific articles or to any supposed unlawful activity. The …

AI-generated Grokipedia articles are longer, less readable, and cite fewer sources than their Wikipedia counterparts

AI-generated Grokipedia articles are longer, less readable, and cite fewer sources than their Wikipedia counterparts

Published by José Betancourt

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides evidence that automated encyclopedias differ from human-edited platforms in both structure and political leaning. The research suggests that rather than uniformly removing bias, these automated systems tend to favor longer, more complex narratives while introducing rightward shifts in certain topic areas. These findings raise questions about how artificial intelligence shapes public knowledge and source verification. In October 2025, the American technology company xAI, founded by Elon Musk, launched Grokipedia. The platform was presented as the world’s first artificial intelligence-written encyclopedia. Musk promised the platform would fix left-leaning biases alleged to exist in the widely used online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Wikipedia’s content is written and maintained by volunteer editors. Grokipedia generates and reviews its content using a large language model, which is a type of artificial intelligence trained on vast amounts of text to predict and generate human-like language. Visitors can suggest edits, but the automated system reviews and implements the changes without traditional human editorial oversight. To evaluate these claims, researchers at …

New York Times Has Published Extensive AI-Generated Articles

New York Times Has Published Extensive AI-Generated Articles

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The odds that the New York Times and other major news outlets have published AI-generated articles — whether knowing it or not — seem very high indeed. Speculation abounded on this possibility earlier this week, centering on a “Modern Love” column published in the NYT last November. It was sparked when on X, Becky Tuch of Lit Mag News posted an excerpt of the piece with her controversial take: “this reads EXACTLY like AI slop,” she wrote. Turns out there’s evidence that Tuch was onto something, a new piece in The Atlantic reveals. The writer of the column, Kate Gilgan, told magazine that she hadn’t copy and pasted language from an AI model, but “did utilize AI as a tool,” including chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, for seeking “inspiration and guidance and correction.” “I used AI as a collaborative editor and not as a content generator,” Gilgan insisted. At this point in the AI boom, when we …

UK media biased against Muslims, says group that analysed 40,000 articles | Islamophobia News

Listen to this article | 4 mins info London, United Kingdom – As anti-Muslim hate crimes rise in Britain, so too does biased coverage of Muslims in the media, a new study suggests. The Centre for Media Monitoring, a nonprofit organisation that examines how Muslims and Islam are portrayed in the media, said in a report released on Monday that of about 40,000 articles it assessed from 30 outlets, 70 percent associated Muslims or Islam with negative aspects or behaviours. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list “As the largest study of its kind ever conducted in the UK, this report presents deeply concerning evidence of structural bias in how Muslims are portrayed in the UK press,” said Rizwana Hamid, the group’s director. The report said almost half of the articles published about Muslims in the UK, or about 20,000, contained a “high degree of bias”. The data point to a “systemic problem within our media ecosystem”, Hamid said. “When entire communities are repeatedly framed through lenses of suspicion or threat, it inevitably shapes public attitudes, …
