LIVE ACADEMY Free newsroom AI training

CLASS IS
IN SESSION.

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.
