OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, partners with Amazon’s Jeff Bezos-owned The Washington Post to make high-quality news more accessible in ChatGPT. This will allow ChatGPT to showcase summaries, quotes, and links to original reporting from The Post in response to relevant questions. So far, the company has roped in 20 news publishers, bringing its technology to over 160 outlets and hundreds of content brands across more than 20 languages.

This marks’ OpenAI’s continued effort to rope in trusted and credible news media outlets as associates to facilitate credible and up-to-date information to the users. Earlier, it had roped in Germany’s Bertelsmann for the same reasons. This initiative will empower the company's commitment to make reliable, factual information easier to find and engage with. This will ensure that the complex or fast-moving topics, where timely, well-sourced reporting matters most, are easily available to the users of ChatGPT. 

Reaching Where the Audience Is 

“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.”

Timely Information at Users' Disposal 

“More than 500 million people use ChatGPT each week to get answers to all kinds of questions,” said Varun Shetty, Head of Media Partnerships at OpenAI. “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.”

This partnership is the latest example of The Post’s commitment to expanding the discoverability of its critical journalism through AI tools and resources.
