VQV Signal
According to the headline, ChatGPT and other AI tools often cite national news outlets when answering local queries. The linked Press Gazette article, judging by its URL, suggests answer engines may also bypass local news outlets and go straight to official sources. The Hacker News entry has 1 point and no comments, so discussion is limited so far. The available snippet does not provide specific figures or methodology.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
If AI answer engines route local questions to national outlets or official sites, local news publishers could see less visibility and attribution for community reporting. Publishers, local businesses and readers who rely on local coverage may be affected by where these citations point. It is worth checking whether the Press Gazette article includes detailed data, since the snippet offers none.
