The workshop is geared toward journalists in the Asia time zones.

Workshop participants will identify different types of AI stories and dissect what distinguishes the best coverage, including its framing, headline, and artwork.

This 90-minute interactive training session, led by Bina Venkataraman, is designed for managing editors, executive editors, desk editors, social media editors -- anyone in charge of directing coverage, commissioning stories, or packaging and producing them for public consumption. 

We will identify different types of AI stories and dissect what sets apart the best coverage, including its framing, headline, and artwork. You’ll learn to assess pitches and filed stories and avoid common pitfalls that can mislead or confuse an audience (or an editor). There will be opportunities to ask questions, trade tips, and have a lively discussion among fellow newsroom decision-makers. 

To allow maximum interaction between the coaches and the editors, we will cap the maximum number of trainees to 35-40 journalists. During the application review, we consider, among others, the applicants' time zone, their role in the newsroom, and their motivation or reason for joining the training. 

Kindly note that this session is about reporting on AI, and not about using AI for journalistic purposes. Apply by March 16, 2026.
