Philadelphia Inquirer launches Scrape, an AI tool for hyperlocal news

Original: The Philadelphia Inquirer built Scrape, an AI tool to surface hyperlocal news

The Philadelphia Inquirer has built Scrape, an artificial intelligence tool designed to surface hyperlocal news stories that might otherwise go unreported. Developed with support from the Lenfest Institute, the tool is aimed at helping the newsroom cover neighbourhood-level events and community issues more efficiently. The project is drawing attention as an example of how local news organisations are experimenting with AI to expand coverage despite shrinking resources.

Why now: People are discussing a practical example of a local newspaper using AI to address gaps in community news coverage.
