JournalismAI Southeast Asia Academy for Small Newsrooms

Application Deadline: 24 November 2024, at 11:59 PM GMT.

The JournalismAI Academy for Small Newsrooms is a FREE online programme that offers a deep dive into the potential of artificial intelligence to journalists and media professionals from small newsrooms. 

It is designed by the JournalismAI team at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and powered by the Google News Initiative.

The Academy has been a core programme of the JournalismAI initiative since 2021, training over 150 newsroom professionals from across the globe.

Following the success of the past three years, which included cohorts across the world and excellent feedback from participants, we are now pleased to announce the launch of a new Academy for Southeast Asia. We will be selecting 20 participants from the region.

Requirements

• For 2025, we are selecting 20 participants from Southeast Asia (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.) from GMT +6:30, +7:00, +8:00 and +9:00).
• The ideal candidate already has a basic understanding of the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and works in a news organisation that has started exploring how to use these new technologies. 
• Candidates with different newsroom titles will be considered but, in the selection process, priority will be given to candidates that demonstrate the ability to influence the strategic adoption of AI in their news organisation to tackle journalistic challenges. 
• No coding skills are required to attend the Academy, nor are there any other technical requirements, other than a stable WiFi connection to participate in the live activities. We encourage journalists and media professionals from all backgrounds to apply.
• The Academy is not for freelancers – you need to be part of a newsroom to benefit from the programme. The Academy is not for journalists based outside the Southeast Asia region. Finally, the Academy is not for journalists who are not fluent in English.
