Modern Express (现代快报) is a Jiangsu-based news organization that uses digital-human production as an internal capability for reporting formats, themed communication products, and cultural-heritage collaborations, treating synthetic characters as on-camera presenters and narrative participants rather than as standalone novelty mascots. In its national “Two Sessions” coverage, it has described a “digital human reporter group” built with AI and deep-learning neural-network training to deliver daily briefings from the venue and to aggregate audience questions into structured prompts that can be used for mediated “connect” interactions with delegates, indicating an editorial workflow in which digital humans function as reporting interfaces and audience-bridging agents. In cultural storytelling, it has credited its own AI production work for bringing the digital human “Bi Sheng” into a Phoenix Printing Culture Museum project in Nanjing, where the character is used to guide viewers through printing-culture content in a format that blends traditional heritage themes with contemporary synthetic-character media production.
