AI is reshaping how newsrooms work — and your audience is paying attention. Join Indiegraf for a live, interactive webinar led by Laura E. Davis and Lynn Walsh from Trusting News, where we'll help you build an AI policy that works for your newsroom, whether you use AI tools or not. Walk away with practical templates, real examples, and a clear path to publishing a policy that builds audience trust.
In this 60-minute interactive session, you'll get everything you need to create and publish an AI policy for your newsroom. Here's what we'll cover:
● Research on AI and audience trust — what news audiences think about AI use and disclosure
● Real newsroom examples — AI policies and no-AI policies from publishers already doing this well
● Ready-to-use templates — including an in-story disclosure language you can adapt on the spot
● Live exercises — fill-in-the-blank template activities with peer sharing in the chat
● Practical tools — including the Trusting News worksheet to guide your policy decisions
