AI Reporters Funded by the Tech They Cover | Wilmington News
Description
Major news outlets are quietly hiring AI journalism fellows funded by the Tarbell Center, with salaries up to $100K — but disclosure is inconsistent. While Tarbell claims editorial independence and supports 28 reporters investigating AI’s impact, its funding ties to AI safety advocates and a major AI investor raise eyebrows. Though the center insists transparency is mandatory — and current fellows do disclose their support — many major publications still fail to mention these affiliations, leaving audiences unaware of who’s really paying the journalists covering the very tech shaping our future.
