Sky News has partnered with Arc XP, the content platform and media operating system developed by The Washington Post, as part of its Sky News 2030 transformation. The collaboration aims to build a smarter and more flexible platform, supporting Sky News’s vision to become a video-first newsroom built for the digital future.

Sky News 2030 is a five-year transformation programme designed to respond to a changing media landscape, where technology and shifting audience habits are redefining how news is discovered and consumed. The plan aims to deliver high-value, video first journalism that audiences choose to spend time with, across the platforms where they already are.

AI is driving a major shift in how news is discovered, produced, and circulates. Sky News say that Arc XP equips it with the tools and experience to keep pace with that change.Together, Sky News and Arc XP will explore new ways for audiences to discover and engage with Sky News journalism. One of the first initiatives under development is AI-powered search, which aims to provide a more intuitive and conversational way for users to find the stories that matter to them.

This is one part of a broader Sky News AI strategy under the 2030 banner. Sky News says it sees AI as an opportunity to enhance journalism — supporting its reporters and improving audience experiences.

As audiences change how they search for and consume information, Sky News intends to meet them where they are, working with partners such as ArcXP to offer AI features that are trustworthy, transparent, and built on verified journalism.

Andrew Thomson, Sky News Executive Director Business Operations, commented: “As technology continues to change how audiences find and engage with news, we want to make sure Sky News remains the trusted destination for verified, high-quality journalism with premium customer experiences. Arc XP brings world-class expertise and technology that will help us accelerate that vision.”

Matt Monahan, Arc XP President, added: “Today’s audiences are active participants in the news experience. They expect to engage, question, and contribute. We’re proud to partner with Sky News to innovate with AI and open new channels for dialogue that deliver more relevant, meaningful experiences to their audiences.”
