Workshop: Intro to AI for Journalists

There's no questioning it: AI is here to stay in the news business. Newsrooms are integrating AI into their workflows, and journalists and professional communicators have adopted AI as a tool to improve their reporting, writing, editing, and audience outreach. Do you want to do the same?

Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for a half-day workshop to learn how to incorporate AI into your daily work habits. We'll kick off the afternoon with a conversation with journalists already using AI tools on what's possible, as well as the ethical considerations journalists should make when using this technology. Then, we'll dive into hands-on training sessions to help you develop a functional prompt-engineering strategy, learn the basics of LLM-powered data analysis, and build an AI toolkit as a journalist.

And if that last sentence made you feel dizzy, this workshop is for you. We're breaking things down in practical, bite-sized ways that will help you build confidence in your AI skills.

We recommend all participants bring a laptop and be prepared for hands-on demonstrations. Space for this workshop is limited — please register early to guarantee your seat.

Here's who you'll learn from:

• Vania André, Publisher and Editor in Chief of The Haitian Times
• Paul Cheung, Strategic Advisor for Hacks/Hackers
• Andrew Wallender, Data Editor for Bloomberg Industry Group

Your ticket will include lunch, the workshop, and access to the training videos after the event. The event will also feature opportunities to network and demo AI tools.
