OpenAI has announced a significant partnership with Hearst, a major publisher that owns numerous iconic publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle, Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, Women's Health, ELLE, Esquire, and SFGate. This deal will allow OpenAI to incorporate content from Hearst's extensive portfolio of over 40 local newspapers and 20 magazines into its products, such as ChatGPT. This partnership is part of OpenAI's broader strategy to secure licensing deals with major media outlets, which has already included agreements with Conde Nast and Dotdash Meredith. The collaboration signals a new chapter in the relationship between AI and content creators, as fewer publishers are blocking OpenAI's GPTBot.
