Calling all editors and newsroom leaders- Africa Check

Job Description

Applications are now open for the Editor’s Guide to AI — a 90-minute masterclass hosted by the Pulitzer Center and supported by Africa Check.

This course is built for those who direct coverage, commission stories or edit content. You’ll learn how to spot solid AI-related story ideas and pitches, avoid misleading angles when covering AI, and improve story framing — from headline to artwork.

Thank for your interest to the AI Spotlight Series. Welcome to the Track 3: An Editor’s Guide to AI application page.

Please submit your application for the AI Spotlight Series Track 3 session. This will be a 90-minute interactive training session led by Tom Simonite and Bina Venkataraman.

This track 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.
