The AP's pivot to tech
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
The AP is quietly becoming a core supplier to the AI economy. I talk with Kristin Heitman, the Associated Press CRO, about how a 178-year-old cooperative built on serving newspapers is shifting to a business where newspapers now account for under 10 percent of revenue and tech companies already make up 15–20 percent, with that share expected to double over the next few years. We get into how AP prices its data, why recency has become the new battleground, the long-tail demand from companies building their own models, and what this shift signals for the future of licensing across the media industry.
