Josh Moyer remembers the exact moment he decided he needed to unionize. Moyer is a senior reporter for the Centre Daily Times, a newspaper in State College, PA, and for months he had been concerned about a new AI tool being rolled out in his newsroom.
McClatchy, the Centre Daily Times’ parent company, had chosen the paper as an early test market for its Content Scaling Agent (CSA). The tool repackages existing articles on McClatchy sites, essentially drafting short-form AI-generated summaries of them to publish as new articles or to use as video scripts. The tool drew the ire of reporters across McClatchy’s network of 30 local newspapers, due to factual errors output by the tool and disagreements over how to label the published content.
