DPG Media Tests GPT-NL for Headlines and Copy Checks

DPG Media is testing GPT-NL at two publications to assess its ability to suggest headlines and check article copy, according to Tomorrow's Publisher. Journalists remain responsible for evaluating and using the model's suggestions.

GPT-NL proposes headlines intended to reflect each article's main point and publication style without using clickbait. It also flags long or complex sentences, suggests ways to divide them, and checks abbreviations and house style.

The trial began in summer 2026 and will continue through January 2027. TNO, SURF and the Netherlands Forensic Institute are developing GPT-NL using Dutch language material that includes archives from more than 30 national and regional publishers.
