The Philadelphia Inquirer has built Scrape, an artificial intelligence tool designed to surface hyperlocal news that might otherwise go unreported. The project is highlighted by the Lenfest Institute, which supports the paper and promotes it as a model for local journalism. Observers in tech circles are discussing whether AI can help struggling local outlets cover neighborhood-level stories at scale.
