Overview

• The Washington Post and OpenAI announced a strategic partnership on April 22, 2025, allowing ChatGPT to display summaries, quotes, and links to the Post's reporting.
• This agreement aims to make reliable, factual information more accessible, particularly on complex or fast-moving topics, with clear attribution to the Post's journalism.
• The financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, but it builds on OpenAI's partnerships with over 20 publishers, spanning 160 outlets globally.
• The Washington Post has also invested in its own AI tools, such as Ask the Post AI and Climate Answers, highlighting its dual role as an innovator and content provider.
• The partnership contrasts with The New York Times' approach, which has pursued legal action against OpenAI over alleged copyright infringement.
