New: Join ONA’s GenAI course series for newsrooms
What does AI mean for your job in journalism? ONA’s new 9-week GenAI Course for Newsrooms is here to help you go beyond the basics.
We’re offering this nine-week series in small groups and kicking it off with three cohorts:
- Cohort 1: Audience Engagement Practitioners
- Cohort 2: Visual Journalists
- Cohort 3: Newsroom Managers
Each group will meet online for nine sessions to understand AI’s current capabilities and build confidence in advanced prompting, navigating risks, driving monetization and the most relevant skills to explore practical uses within a specific newsroom role. The series will run between March 31–May 30, 2025. Spots are limited—apply now!
