Join us for a virtual training series for journalists looking to get started with AI tools in news. From the basics of generative AI to image generation, data journalism, audience engagement and writing effective prompts, we will cover how to use these technologies, ethics, legal issues and more. See the full list of events with descriptions.

In between longer sessions, we’ll host Mini-Labs, which are short practice sessions to give participants space to try out the techniques introduced in the workshops.

This training series is part of ONA’s AI in Journalism Initiative, supporting journalists in exploring artificial intelligence technologies to better serve their communities.
