The Field Note Newsletter

The Field Note is written for editors, publishers, and heads of product at news organisations trying to think clearly about what AI means for their work. The frame is practical and the evidence comes from inside the industry: ongoing transformation projects, recent research, and the conversations Dietmar Schantin has with senior leaders week by week.

Each issue carries one piece of original analysis —usually something Schantin is working through for The Field Guide —alongside three items from the wider conversation that are worth a senior reader’s time.

If you lead a newsroom, or you are trying to work out what your newsroom should be doing about AI, The Field Notes is for you.
