OpenAI announces content deal with Hearst, including content from Cosmopolitan, Esquire and the San Francisco Chronicle

OpenAI has announced a partnership with Hearst, the media giant behind publications such as the Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Elle, and others.

As part of the collaboration, OpenAI’s products, including ChatGPT and SearchGPT, will feature content from over 20 magazine brands and more than 40 newspapers, the company revealed on Tuesday.

“Our partnership with OpenAI will help us shape the future of magazine content,” said Debi Chirichella, President of Hearst Magazines, in a statement.

The agreement stipulates that Hearst content in ChatGPT will include proper citations and links directing users to the original Hearst sources. However, Hearst’s non-magazine and non-newspaper businesses will not be part of this deal.

This partnership follows a growing trend of media companies forming content collaborations with AI startups.

In August, OpenAI formed a similar partnership with Condé Nast, the publisher behind Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Wired.

Perplexity AI, another AI company, launched a revenue-sharing model for publishers in July, following plagiarism accusations. Media outlets such as Fortune, Time, Entrepreneur, The Texas Tribune, Der Spiegel, and WordPress.com were the first to join its “Publishers Program.”

In June, OpenAI and Time announced a multi-year content deal, granting OpenAI access to current and archived articles from Time’s over 100-year history. OpenAI can display Time’s content within ChatGPT and use it to enhance its AI models.

In May, OpenAI partnered with News Corp., gaining access to current and archived content from The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Barron’s, and the New York Post. Reddit also struck a deal with OpenAI that same month, allowing its content to be used to train OpenAI’s AI models.

Meanwhile, many news organizations are taking steps to protect their businesses as AI-generated content grows more prevalent.

In June, The Center for Investigative Reporting, the nation’s oldest nonprofit newsroom, filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI and its main backer Microsoft, alleging copyright infringement. Similar lawsuits have been filed by The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Daily News.

In December, The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that its journalistic content was improperly used in ChatGPT’s training data, seeking damages in the billions. OpenAI has disputed the claims made by the Times.
