US NEWSROOM STUDY TOUR: Managing AI, elections and news avoidance

On the eve of the pivotal 2024 US Presidential Election, see firsthand how US news organisations are managing their newsrooms amidst unprecedented pressures.  AI is at the heart of our focus: how are they harnessing the power of AI to support their journalism and redefine newsroom workflows, while also maintaining trust amidst an tide of mis and disinformation generated by AI.

Join WAN-IFRA and the World Editors Forum on a transformative five-day study tour from 13- 17 October to prominent newsrooms in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. Explore how they are:

  • Leveraging AI tools and processes to streamline operations, increase efficiency and enhance journalistic endeavours, while also safeguarding areas where traditional approaches remain essential.
  • Establishing frameworks to foster experimentation while upholding journalistic integrity, ensuring that innovation enhances rather than compromises the quality of reporting.
  • Vigilantly combating AI-generated misinformation and disinformation, safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.
  • Strategically preparing for the elections and all potential outcomes, ensuring they can deliver accurate, timely coverage.
  • Articulating the significance of their journalistic mission and its impact on society, reinforcing the importance of independent and trustworthy news sources and rigorous processes.
