The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY is proud to announce the launch of the AI Community Engagement Lab, a new six-month training program designed to empower community journalists with artificial intelligence tools and techniques and enhance audience engagement.
This first-of-its-kind initiative is a partnership between J+, the school’s professional development arm, and the Center for Community Media. A grant from the Walton Family Foundation will provide tuition-free access to the program.
Applications are now open and close on Dec. 6.
