The Washington Post has reached an agreement with OpenAI to make its journalism accessible through ChatGPT, allowing the AI platform to surface summaries, quotes, and links to original Post articles in response to user prompts, the company announced.
Financial terms were not disclosed. “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,” said Peter Elkins-Williams, the Post’s head of global partnerships.
The deal places the Post among the largest of more than a dozen news organizations that have partnered with OpenAI in recent months to help enhance ChatGPT’s capabilities. The move also highlights a sharp contrast with The New York Times, which remains in litigation with OpenAI over alleged unauthorized use of its content.
Owned by Jeff Bezos, the Post has significantly restructured its operations and drawn attention for its editorial pivot as President Trump began his second term.
