The Washington Post integrates its reporting into ChatGPT, marking a new step in AI-powered news delivery and accessibility.
The Washington Post has announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI to enhance access to reliable journalism within ChatGPT, the popular conversational AI platform. Through this collaboration, users will now see summaries, key quotes, and direct links to The Post’s original reporting when querying relevant topics.
A Shared Vision for Accessible, High-Quality Information
The integration underscores a joint mission to make factual, well-sourced reporting easier to access—particularly on fast-moving or nuanced issues. ChatGPT will now surface journalism from The Post on subjects including politics, global affairs, business, and technology, ensuring clear attribution and direct links to full articles for users seeking deeper insights.
“We’re all in on meeting our audiences where they are,” said Peter Elkins-Williams, Head of Global Partnerships at The Washington Post. “Ensuring ChatGPT users have our impactful reporting at their fingertips builds on our commitment to provide access where, how and when our audiences want it.”
Varun Shetty, Head of Media Partnerships at OpenAI, emphasized the importance of journalistic integrity in AI responses: “More than 500 million people use ChatGPT each week to get answers to all kinds of questions. By investing in high-quality journalism by partners like The Washington Post, we’re helping ensure our users get timely, trustworthy information when they need it.”
Expanding Media Partnerships in the AI Era
This collaboration builds on OpenAI’s broader efforts to integrate trusted news content into its tools. To date, the company has established partnerships with more than 20 publishers, expanding access to over 160 news outlets and hundreds of content brands across more than 20 languages.
AI at the Heart of The Post’s Digital Evolution
The Washington Post has increasingly embraced artificial intelligence as a tool to improve news accessibility and audience engagement. Recent innovations include Ask The Post AI, Climate Answers, and newsroom tools like Haystacker, all developed to leverage generative AI for journalistic purposes. The organization has also introduced AI-powered article summaries and audio formats to expand how readers consume news.
