Artificial intelligence is transforming communities across Europe—from hiring practices to healthcare decisions, from education to local government services. But how do you, as a journalist, cut through the hype and tell the human stories that matter?
We're excited to invite you to a free 90-minute online workshop that will equip you with practical tools to report on AI, even if you have no technical background.
Beyond the Hype: How to Cover AI Stories That Matter to Your Community
In partnership with the Pulitzer Center, award-winning investigative journalist Olaya Argüeso Pérez will guide you through a framework for covering AI with a focus on accountability and human-centered storytelling.
What You'll Discover:

- Framework: A practical approach to identifying and covering AI stories in your community
- Sources: How to find experts, data, and voices for your AI reporting
- Pitfalls: Common mistakes to avoid when reporting on AI
