As part of my job at OpenAI, I teach free, public sessions for OpenAI Academy — practical, hands-on training built for journalists and newsrooms.
No jargon, no hype. Just the workflows that actually save reporters time, taught by someone who came up in a newsroom, not a lab.
Here are a few recent ones. The full library is free — you just need to sign up.
01
Built for journalists covering the 2026 elections — source-first workflows, political reporting use cases, stronger prompting, and turning dense material into clear, structured briefs. No technical background required.

Turn a Workspace Agent into your morning assignment editor — pulling from your calendar, email, chat, and docs to build a daily brief. Triage with AI; keep the editorial judgment human.

07
Is that image the real deal? An intro to OpenAI Verify — how to check an image, read provenance signals like SynthID and C2PA, and why "no signal found" doesn't prove it's real. The final verification still comes from reporting.

08
Going beyond basic prompts — story research, document and data analysis, interview prep, and turning source material into clean briefs with agents, skills, and custom apps.
