The paper introduces Data Journalist Agent (Data2Story), a multi‑agent framework that orchestrates specialized roles into a single virtual newsroom to produce evidence‑grounded, multimodal news stories. It ensures every claim is traceable to data, code, or external references via an Inspector, and generates interactive visualizations such as maps and audio to match reader interests. Evaluations on 18 articles show competitive performance in angle coverage, rubric scores, and verifiability, while human writers still lead in editorial angle and creative design.

The paper introduces Agent-as-Peer-Debriefing, a multi‑agent framework that incorporates peer debriefing into qualitative data analysis with large language models. A Hierarchical Coding Agent generates codes and reflections, which are then refined by three Peer‑Debriefing Agents applying Theory‑Driven, Data‑Driven, or Applied perspectives. Experiments on three datasets show that perspective‑based refinement aligns more closely with human codes than a single‑LLM baseline, and that the choice of perspective offers meaningful trade‑offs.
Research dissemination, turning a paper into a poster, a talk video, and a blog post, is still a manual last mile. Prior automation treats each artifact in isolation that each re-extract the paper from scratch, usually ship one-way renders the author cannot reopen in PowerPoint or Word, and gates quality on soft VLM-preference scores that plateau while load-bearing sections still read as empty.
The Epstein Files Engine is an AI agent developed by the New York Times to help journalists investigate a massive mixed‑media collection released by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 30, 2026, which contains about three million pages of PDFs related to Jeffrey Epstein. The Engine translates reporter questions into Google BigQuery SQL queries across three corpora—Epstein‑related releases, the Times’s archive, and external Epstein‑related news headlines—using an LLM to plan queries and return citation‑rich answers that reporters can verify. Over 100 journalists used the Engine, contributing to at least 20 published stories, and the system includes a Diff method for text‑and‑visual duplicate matching to surface genuinely new information.
