Nieman Lab’s public database of the AI newsletter network operating in over 300 towns and cities across the U.S.

On January 27, I published a story on Good Daily, a network of AI-generated local newsletters that over the past year has quietly spread to 355 towns and cities across the U.S.

Since our story ran, I’ve received requests to share a list of all the newsletters we’ve identified. These requests have come in from journalism scholars, pink slime watchdog groups, and local outlets looking to identify newsletters that might be aggregating their own original reporting. Already other journalists have picked up the story and covered Good Daily’s reach in their own states and communities, including in Colorado, North Carolina, and Kentucky.

To make this information more accessible to readers and researchers, I’ve put together a comprehensive database of all the Good Daily newsletters currently operating in the U.S. So far we have logged 337 editions in 47 states, including Good Day Walla Walla in Washington, Jackson Morning News in Tennessee, and Daily Rio Rancho in New Mexico. The state with the most newsletters in our database is Texas, with 31 and counting, including Good Day Abilene and Laredo Today.

You can find the full Good Daily newsletter database here.

Our list is 18 shy of the 355 newsletter figure confirmed by Matthew Henderson, Good Daily’s founder and editor, in our original story. I’ll be continuing to update this database with additional newsletters as I find them.

As always, if you spot similar newsletters or news sites circulating in your community that you suspect might be AI-generated, I’d be curious to know. You can send tips via email ([email protected]) or over Signal (andrewdeck.01).

The latest from Nieman Lab

Press Forward gave $20 million to 205 local newsrooms over two years. Here’s how some of them spent it.

The unrestricted funding helped small outlets plug holes and try new things, but publishers ran up against the limits of what two $50,000 grants could accomplish, especially when it came to hiring.
