Stop Arguing About Journalism

Alan Soon at Splice Media: “If we stripped away the act of writing and editing, what value is left in your newsroom?” His practical framework: stop treating AI as a chat interface and invest in “context engineering” — documentation, structured workspaces, and persistent context that compounds. For WordPress publishers, the implication is that clean taxonomies and content architecture aren’t just CMS hygiene anymore — they’re what determines whether your content is useful to AI agents or just gets scraped without attribution.
