Teaching 180 people to work with AI, in nine months
I saw that AI in the newsroom kept getting stuck in conversation, while hardly anyone had held the tools in their own hands. So I designed a training programme and delivered it myself: 180 journalists trained in nine months. With material and examples taken from the news work itself, not with generic demos.
What it produced: people who genuinely started using it in their work, and agreements about how you do and do not do this in a newsroom. Those tasks always remain human. But also how to hold an open conversation about it with one another. And people encouraging each other to experiment.
Not equally strong everywhere: some teams picked it up straight away, others did not.
