Resources for Journalists
Journalism is changing every day. Here you'll find training and resources to help you tackle new challenges: audiences, misinformation, AI, ethical dilemmas, and more.
Journalists and researchers face the “ challenge ” of determining what journalism is, what its purpose is, and what its functions are in an ever-changing economic, political, cultural, and technological environment.
Among all these challenges, the following stand out: new forms of consumption and how to reach audiences, misinformation and how to combat it, new business models… and, above all, the definition of the profession and its central mission statement role in supporting and sustaining strong democratic systems.
