Announcing the launch of a new digital service to provide trusted, independent, verified news for time-poor audiences, enabled by its own unique set of AI editorial tools
Bulletin provides “News for Seriously Busy People”, addressing the growing need for reliable information in a world where many news consumers are increasingly busy, while also facing an increasingly busy news agenda.
Bulletin offers readers informative, high-quality journalism in a consumer-friendly format, allowing readers quickly and easily to get to the truth of stories that matter. It will be available at bulletin.news from 31 March.
The project has been led by journalists at The Independent, working in partnership with AI experts at Google Cloud to integrate Gemini, Google’s advanced family of Al models, alongside the publisher’s own in-house data and development teams. All output is reviewed and checked by journalists before being published to ensure the highest levels of quality and trust are maintained. Other features will follow as the tool kit is continually developed.
Christian Broughton, CEO and former editor of The Independent, says: “We believe journalists should be the people to work out the best uses of AI in newsrooms. Our journalists wanted to ensure they are always in control of the process, so they worked through the workflows and tech implementation themselves, and they wanted to serve our audience’s desire for trusted, essential briefings.
Whether from long working hours, busy family life, or all kinds of other reasons. Bulletin, as a concept, was first discussed a decade ago, and now it is possible by working with technology”.
