Good morning, readers!
Today, we’ve got some news about the news.
We’re merging the AI Agenda into our daily publications — the Arizona Agenda and the Tucson Agenda.
If you’re not already reading those publications and want to sign up, here are the links
That means our AI coverage will occasionally appear in the daily newsletters.
Statewide stories — the Legislature, the semiconductor boom and weird Arizona tech trends — will show up in the Arizona Agenda.
Southern Arizona angles, including battles over data centers, will run in the Tucson Agenda.
Adi Jagannathan, our resident AI expert, will lend his expertise to our coverage in both publications.
Folding that coverage into the daily publications will allow our team to go deeper into the election season — and bring that AI knowledge to a larger audience.
We’re redirecting our weekly policy coverage because we’re taking on the biggest civic project in the Agenda's history. We're partnering with the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission to redesign and moderate their entire 2026 legislative debate program. New format, wider distribution, more candidates, more voters. (ICYMI: You can read the announcement here.)
It’s a big deal for the Agenda publications, but it’s gonna require some extra bandwidth.
We started the AI Agenda to make sure coverage of the looming AI apocalypse / gold rush didn't get overlooked. After fifteen months on this beat, we know the players, the storylines and what's at stake.
Now, we’re bringing it into the main show.
