AI-Newsroom

This tailored AI training program is designed to integrate advanced language models (LLMs) into your team's daily workflows, providing immediate efficiency gains in content production, monitoring, research, data visualisation and processing. By leveraging AI-powered instruments, structured verification, and collaborative optimization, your team will significantly reduce manual workload, enhance data accuracy, and accelerate production Significantly, your team will gain a practical framework for working with various models and master its application in professional workflows. You'll learn AI tools’ capabilities and limitations, and will be able to develop reliable strategies for their implementation.

Key Insights

Anyone who has taken a keen interest in the digital transition — or attended in person — knows that adapting to new technology takes time. It takes years to go from the initial steps of finding a domain to achieving significant viewership metrics, from monitoring trending topics to acquiring the skills to use the digital environment for information gathering and investigations. AI is the next chapter. What will it bring to your editorial team?
In the past three years our team delivered AI-Newsroom, to many media organisations and individuals. This is what we’ve learned
Key insights
  • Professional Development. Journalists seek to enhance technical skills while maintaining editorial standards, adapting to the changing media landscape and integrating new technologies into their workflow.
  • Operational Efficiency. Applicants aim to optimize work processes, particularly important for independent media operating with limited resources in challenging circumstances.
  • Knowledge Sharing. Strong emphasis on sharing learned skills with colleagues, multiplying impact within organizations and broader media community.
  • Quality Journalism. Focus on maintaining high journalistic standards while adopting new tools, particularly crucial for independent media working in exile or under pressure.

Program Structure

I Onboarding Format
Two online sessions during one week or one full day in a live classroom. Outcome: The group develops a shared prompt library and gathers ideas on how to adapt neural networks to their tasks—from news production to investigations.
II AI in Practice
Self-Directed Learning: Your team determines the further program and choose “Learning Journey” which suits their needs the most.  During 4-6 “learning by doing” sessions we will learn and experiment together.
Final Project: The possibility to present an individual or group project to “defend your thesis.” at the end of the training.

Our Approach

We use a dynamic learning methodology that balances structured guidance with practical experience. Theory sessions are short and focused, immediately followed by hands-on practice with real business cases. This approach helps teams develop both shared understanding and sustainable AI implementation skills - crucial in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI tools and capabilities.
Prague School Media has been offering customized remote training in practical LLM implementation for teams for over two years. Personnel from major media organizations, think tanks, and institutions have completed this program, including BBC, Hromadske, Mizzima, Radio Liberty, CYENS Centre of Excellence, Animaccord Production, Belarusian Investigative Center, Free Press Unlimited, and FPEE.Based in Oxford, Ms. Ponirovskaya and Mr. Lvovsky conduct in-person trainings for UK-based organizations.In the same timeframe, over 1,000 individuals have completed our remote courses, enhancing their expertise in AI applications.
Methodology
We follow the Kaospilot methodology, which emphasizes:
• Preparation of clear methodological materials
• Practical exercises during sessions
• Active participant engagement (minimizing lecture time)
• Alternating theory with hands-on practice
This approach helps the group develop a common language regarding AI and reflect on their practices so that their skills remain relevant even as tools evolve rapidly.
Course Instructors
  • Stanislav Lvovsky: Poet, historian, researcher
    Doctoral student at the University of Oxford, graduated from Moscow State University and Shaninka (Master’s in public history). Before his academic career, he worked in advertising, cultural management, and journalism. Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki.
  • Zlata Ponirovskaya: AI-Adoption facilitator, Head of Prague School Media.
