The AP Is Offering Buyouts in a Pivot Away From Newspapers

The Associated Press announced voluntary buyouts for about 120 U.S. journalists as it pivots away from its traditional newspaper client base. Newspaper‑derived revenue now represents only 10% of AP’s income and has fallen 25% over the past four years after major chains like Gannett and McClatchy cut ties. The agency is reallocating resources toward visual journalism, expanding video teams, and deepening AI‑driven partnerships with tech firms such as Google and OpenAI. AP says the move is proactive, not a sign of distress, and aims to capture new revenue streams like election‑data services.
