The panel will focus on empowering small newsrooms through fellowships and bespoke training globally. Main themes to be discussed will be newsrooms' appetite for collaboration across the industry and with platforms, a toolkit for small and medium-sized newsrooms willing to start with AI, and the key role of DEI. The JournalismAI Fellowship, a new scheme launched in 2022, was an opportunity for 10 teams of 46 Fellows to prototype innovative tools solving newsroom problems with AI. The JournalismAI Academy, piloted in EMEA in 2021, was successfully scaled in APAC and the Americas in 2022. Each cohort benefits 20 newsroom practitioners from small and medium-sized publishers.
