This index identifies B2B and technology journalists from publishers that have announced content partnerships with OpenAI, ranked by an AI model citation influence score (1–10). Our scoring estimates how likely a reporter's published work is to be drawn upon by large language models, based on byline volume, beat relevance, publication reach, and cross-outlet visibility.

Why does this matter? As AI systems increasingly shape how information is discovered and summarised, the journalists whose work gets cited most frequently by those models are becoming a new kind of amplifier. For B2B brands, understanding this layer of influence is increasingly essential to any modern media strategy.

The index covers 15 publishers and 45 journalists, with the top 3 reporters listed per outlet. Scores of 8–10 indicate high citation probability; 5–7 medium. Note that some affiliations have shifted since publication. We've flagged where journalists have moved on.
