Editors and media executives from across South Asia convened in New Delhi for the INMA South Asia News Media Festival, where the central message was clear: credibility and editorial judgment must lead, with AI playing a supporting rather than decision-making role. Senior leaders from Hindustan Times, Malayala Manorama, and The Times of India shared how their newsrooms are cautiously integrating AI into workflows—from archive search to content management—while keeping human oversight firmly in place. Print's value was also reaffirmed, with panelists noting that its trusted environment continues to attract advertisers and that Gen Z audiences respond to quality content regardless of platform.
