Reuters Radar AI that automatically generates local news stories from structured data at scale.

About Radar AI Journalism

Reuters Radar is an AI-powered automated journalism platform developed by Reuters that generates accurate, readable news articles from structured data sources at massive scale—producing thousands of local news stories about topics like local business performance, crime statistics, housing markets, and government spending that would be impossible to cover manually with traditional newsroom staffing. Radar's natural language generation AI transforms data tables and structured datasets into coherent, factually accurate news articles that follow journalistic writing conventions, enabling Reuters to provide hyperlocal coverage to media partners across geographies that no newsroom could afford to staff individually. The platform has been used to produce automated coverage of company earnings, sports results, local government data, and public health statistics, freeing human journalists to focus on investigations, analysis, and stories requiring human judgment and sources. Radar represents one of the most mature deployments of automated journalism in production newsroom operations.
