Israeli company Caledo is using AI avatars to make live broadcasts of local news.

The company hopes to bring this tech to hundreds of local newspapers in the coming year .

The idea is that the tech can give small local newsrooms the opportunity to create live broadcasts that they otherwise couldn’t.

Early returns suggest that Kauai viewers, at least, might have trouble accepting James and Rose as kamaaina (locals) "No one I know thinks this is a good idea," says one local woman.

As the industry struggles, more and more publishers are turning to AI to make their papers more efficient.

Building trust between local news outlets and communities they serve is a tall order.
