Ad revenue is falling, the channels are multiplying. Newsroom resources stay the same. The answer: hybrid journalism. Let AI handle the routine (market reports, sports tables, transcription, SEO) so your editors have time for what readers pay for: research, context and real stories.
Concrete tools for editorial, sales and technology.
Automated reporting for data-driven topics. Error-free and instantly available after an event.
Generate weather, traffic and event reports for every community in your distribution area individually.
AI recognises frustration signals in subscribers before they cancel and serves individual retention offers.
Individual offers based on the user's willingness to pay and usage history.
Turn text articles into high-quality audio pieces with synthetic voices (that sound like your presenters).
AI automatically cuts the most viral clips from video interviews for TikTok and Reels (auto-framing + subtitles).
The biggest challenges in modern publishing.
Print ads collapse, digital CPMs fall. Newsrooms have to deliver more output on less budget – without a loss of quality.
One article has to be prepared for print, web, social, newsletter and audio at the same time. A single editor cannot manage that.
50 years of archive material that no one can search. Valuable research sources and background information stay unused.
Subscribers cancel quietly. Without data analysis no one recognises the warning signs – until it is too late.
Technology must not endanger reader trust. We focus on transparency.
Transcribing, translating, formatting, SEO optimisation – newsrooms spend much of their time on routine. AI can automate sports reports, make archive knowledge accessible and detect cancellation risks. In the strategy workshop we analyse your newsroom workflow and identify the biggest efficiency levers.

A concrete digitalisation plan for your newsroom: which AI tools relieve the editorial team, how they protect journalistic quality and when the investment pays off.
Answers for publishing leadership and editors-in-chief.
Stylistically yes, in substance no. AI can summarise, rewrite and structure superbly. But it cannot make phone calls, cannot be on the ground and has no conscience. It is a tool, not an author.
We advise you on technical measures (robots.txt, paywall protection) and licensing models for AI companies that want to use your data.
Often less than a CMS relaunch. Many tools (transcription, translation) can be integrated into existing systems immediately via API.
You upload audio/video (interview, press conference). AI transcribes with high accuracy, recognises speakers, sets timestamps. The editor reviews, corrects, uses quotes. Instead of 4 hours manually: 20 minutes of correction.
Yes, into many languages. Not Google Translate quality, but idiomatic, context-aware translations. Technical terms are transferred correctly. The editor reviews before publication.
Human-in-the-loop is mandatory. AI delivers drafts, editors check facts and sources before publication. The four-eyes principle remains. AI accelerates, but does not replace journalistic diligence.
Yes. AI analyses reader behaviour and suggests which articles should go behind the paywall and which stay free. Dynamic pricing based on content value and user engagement.
We integrate AI tools into common systems such as WordPress, Drupal, TYPO3 or proprietary CMS. Via APIs, workflows can be automated.
Transparency matters. We train teams, show potential and limits. AI should relieve, not replace. Editors keep control over content and quality.
Private AI instances with a zero-retention policy. No data is used to train public models. Source protection and confidentiality remain ensured.
"The answer to the media crisis is not less journalism, but more efficient journalism. AI gives editors room to breathe."
