AI BRIEFING

• ⬤ Breaking news remains a defensible and attention-grabbing category in the age of AI, as it is less susceptible to compression into a zero-click summary. AI tends to favor journalistic content and explanatory writing, particularly from platforms like LinkedIn. Publishers should prioritize breaking news and pair it with fresh, structured explanatory journalism that can be easily parsed by both humans and machines.
