Trains and places AI-focused journalists: fellows embedded at TIME (four), Bloomberg, The Verge, LA Times, The Information; $350k/yr grants program; Tarbell Fellowship stipends. Funded by FLI (via SVCF sponsorship), Manifund-era grants, EA-aligned donors. Semafor's 'AI critics funded AI coverage at top newsrooms' (Dec 7, 2025) made it the exhibit for media-capture claims — from the other direction, exactly how a16z frames it.
