Posted on Jun 28, 2024 in Media Innovation

Journalists and media professionals from Sub-Saharan Africa, who are working in small newsrooms, can apply for a training program.

The JournalismAI team at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), in partnership with the Google News Initiative, is offering the JournalismAI Academy for Small Newsrooms. This free online program provides a deep dive into the potential of artificial intelligence to journalists and media professionals from small newsrooms. 

The program combines a series of masterclasses given by experts working at the intersection of journalism and artificial intelligence, with opportunities for discussion among participants. In addition, participants will be guided through the development of resources that can support their organizations’ AI-adoption journey during and after the program.

Twenty participants will be selected for the eight-week program which begins in September.

The deadline is July 24.
