At OpenAI, we believe journalism is essential to a healthy democracy. People depend on reliable local and national reporting to understand their communities and the world around them, and we’re committed to being a strong partner to news organizations—supporting their work and convening the right people to move the industry forward.
We’re building on our partnership with the American Journalism Project(opens in a new window) and The Lenfest Institute for Journalism(opens in a new window) to launch OpenAI Academy for News Organizations(opens in a new window), a new learning hub for journalists, editors, and publishers using AI.
We shared this initiative yesterday at the AI and Journalism Summit(opens in a new window), which we co-hosted with the Brown Institute for Media Innovation and Hearst, which brought together leaders from the newsroom, academic, and technology community. The OpenAI Academy for News Organizations goes live today with hands-on training, playbooks, and real-world examples that help teams save time and focus on high-impact journalism – from reporting and fact-gathering, to the business and operational work that keeps news organizations strong.
At launch, the OpenAI Academy for News Organizations includes:
The OpenAI Academy for News Organizations builds on years of collaboration with the journalism community, including our ongoing work with American Journalism Project and The Lenfest Institute to support local news organizations as they responsibly adopt AI to assist in critical newsroom research and investigative work, accelerate product development, and explore new ways of using AI to improve business sustainability. Those efforts, alongside partnerships with publishers and industry groups around the world, helped inform the new Academy’s emphasis on practical guidance, transparency, and shared learning grounded in real newsroom needs.
AI is already reshaping how newsrooms work, and the Academy is intended to provide immediate value. We recognize that adopting new technology raises important questions for journalists and publishers, including concerns about trust, accuracy, and jobs. The Academy is built with those realities in mind.
We’ve invested for years in supporting a healthy news ecosystem while helping more than 800 million weekly ChatGPT users access timely, high-quality information from trusted news outlets. Today, that work includes partnerships with organizations such as News Corp, Axios, the Financial Times, Condé Nast, and Hearst as well as collaborations with groups like AJP, The Lenfest Institute, the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), and the International News Media Association (INMA) that focus on shared learning and capacity building across the industry. Together, these partners provide content in more than 20 languages globally.
In the year ahead, we plan to work with additional news organizations and industry partners to expand the Academy with new courses, case studies, and live programming. Through this effort, we’ll provide tools to help journalists everywhere do their work even better and support news organizations as they build for the future.
