Today: Learn how to use AI for journalism
AI is here to stay, but how to use the tools — and whether to — has been key to conversations taking place in newsrooms across the country.
Join Francesco Marconi, a computational journalist and the co-founder of AI company Applied XL, for a practical look at what journalists need to know about AI tools and their applications within journalistic work at a National Press Club Journalism Institute free webinar from 11:30 a.m to 12:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13.

Participants will learn:
- How journalists are using generative AI tools like chatGPT to support their work
- Best practices — and the best tools — to enhance your workflows
- Ethical considerations in use and display of AI-supported work products
- How to stay ahead with this rapidly evolving technology
