Philadelphia Inquirer launches 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. Developed with support from the Lenfest Institute, the tool aims to help the paper cover neighbourhood-level events and community information that traditional reporting workflows often miss. The project is drawing attention as an example of how local newsrooms are using AI to expand coverage rather than cut costs, amid ongoing struggles of regional journalism.
Why now: Newsroom AI adoption is a hot topic, and a major regional paper building its own tool for hyperlocal coverage offers a concrete, hopeful example.
