journalismAI.com began as a personal project in 2017. I wanted to track advances in artificial intelligence and began keeping a file of stories. I had reported extensively on the growth of the Internet and experienced its impact on journalism. I felt developments in AI represented a similar, foundational shift.
As the collection grew, I thought the records might be useful to others.
I hope this database gives journalists everywhere convenient access to pre-vetted context and commentary as the evolution of AI and journalism continues.

Editorial Standards
Every item is hand-picked and human-written. That’s not a value judgment on automation, simply how I work. I select items based on three criteria:
- The piece presents new information.
- It originates from an authoritative source.
- It is written or spoken clearly.
Found items are dated by their original publication day and link to the full story. Original stories are dated when first posted and include links to supporting or complementary items.
Technical Specifications
- Format: Structured records with 700+ discrete entries.
- Provenance: 100% human-verified sources; no synthetic or AI-generated items.
- Taxonomy: Categorized by industry subjects (AI Advances, AI in the Newsroom, Ethics & Standards, Explainers, Trust) and sub-divided by type (Academic Papers, Blog, Briefs 2014-2020, Op-Eds, Quotes, Reports, Video).
- Maintenance: Manually audited and updated.
- Retrieval: The complete knowledge base is searchable by keyword or phrase via the masthead search box.
Ownership
I own and operate journalismAI.com independently, without funding from tech companies or news publishers. The site uses no IP tracking beyond raw metrics (visits, durations, and geography).
