Three Pillars of Modern Journalism

We focus on practical skills that actual newsrooms need right now. No theoretical fluff—just real tools and techniques used by working journalists.

Smart Research Tools

Learn how AI can help you find sources faster and fact-check more efficiently. We'll show you which tools actually work and which ones waste your time.

Human Verification

Technology makes mistakes. We teach you how to verify AI-generated leads, cross-reference sources, and maintain journalistic integrity in an automated world.

Storytelling Balance

Keep your voice while using tech to handle routine tasks. Focus on what humans do best—asking tough questions and uncovering stories that matter.

Your Learning Path

Foundation Skills (Weeks 1-4)

Start with the basics. We cover how AI tools actually work, their limitations, and where they fit into a reporter's workflow. You'll practice with real newsroom scenarios.

Advanced Techniques (Weeks 5-8)

Dive deeper into specialized tools for investigative work, data analysis, and source verification. Learn from working journalists who use these methods daily.

Portfolio Projects (Weeks 9-12)

Apply everything to real stories. Work on investigations, breaking news coverage, and feature pieces that demonstrate your new skills to potential employers.

Common Questions

Will AI replace journalists?

Not the good ones. AI can't conduct interviews, ask follow-up questions, or understand local context. What it can do is handle research tasks and data analysis, freeing up time for real journalism.

How much technical knowledge do I need?

If you can use Google Docs and email, you're ready. We start with simple tools and gradually introduce more advanced techniques. Most of our students are working journalists, not tech experts.

When do programs start?

Our next cohort begins in September 2025, with applications opening in June. We run intensive programs twice a year to keep class sizes small and instruction personal.
