Driving Trust and Innovation: Advanced Journalism Skills

This course is designed for journalists and communications professionals who already have a strong foundation in professional writing, familiarity with editorial standards and newsroom or communications workflows, and basic working knowledge of digital publishing tools and generative AI platforms. Experience in drafting or editing policy, regulatory, or institutional content will be an added advantage. The course will help you use generative AI without compromising trust, accuracy, or accountability. You will practice drafting policy content with GPT-4 using transparent, logged workflows, then verify AI-generated summaries against primary documents to identify hallucinations and meaning drift. Through short videos, readings, coach dialogues, hands-on activities, and assessments, you will build the skills needed to make AI-assisted work explainable, reviewable, and defensible, so editors, standards teams, and audiences can trust both the process and the final story.
