The article from Forbes Business Development Council discusses the transformative impact of AI on the news industry, particularly focusing on how it affects content creators. It highlights the dual-edged nature of AI in journalism: on one side, AI tools can enhance efficiency by automating content generation, data analysis, and personalization of news feeds, potentially increasing reach and engagement.

It suggests that creators should focus on unique, high-quality content that AI cannot easily replicate, like investigative journalism, opinion pieces, and in-depth analysis, while also learning to leverage AI for research, fact-checking, and audience insights to stay competitive in an evolving digital landscape.
