Mediahuis has suspended a senior journalist after he admitted using AI-generated quotes in his work that “wrongly put words in people’s mouths”.

Peter Vandermeersch, a senior figure at the publisher of the Irish Independent and Sunday Independent, had previously served as chief executive of Mediahuis Ireland, the group which owns the Irish Independent, the Sunday World, and several regional titles, and also held senior roles at its Dutch title NRC Media.
