Artificial intelligence (AI)
In this section we look at how journalists are using AI for researching and producing news stories. We discuss how AI can help develop the main news stories of the day, offer ideas and angles to cover, and help with in-depth investigative journalism. We also look at how AI can be used by journalists to detect AI in text and images. And we have a one-day lesson on how to use AI, which is free to download, adapt and use.
Using AI in journalism
Media organisations using AI should set clear newsgathering and production guidelines to protect journalistic integrity and maintain audience trust.
Using AI as a newsroom tool
AI is increasingly used in news production, but only under careful human supervision at every level. So how can journalists use AI safely and responsibly?
Using AI for story development
Imagine you are a journalist covering a story in the field. You need someone to help you explore new angles, but you are on your own. Would turning to AI help?
Integrating AI into everyday journalism
AI is reshaping newsrooms — but only journalists can ensure it strengthens, not undermines, the trust and integrity that great reporting depends on.
Journalism that AI will trust and promote
What must journalists do to ensure news stories perform well in AI and search queries? The answer might surprise those who think algorithms favour clickbait.
Prompting AI for journalism
When using generative AI in journalism, it's essential to create the right prompts. The quality of the prompts will define the quality of the response.
Using AI for discovering news angles
Have you ever chaired a news meeting surrounded by blank faces with no story ideas? Well, with AI that experience could be a thing of the past.
