The most valuable skill in a modern newsroom isn’t just knowing that ChatGPT exists—it’s knowing how to command it.
Most storytellers talk to AI like they’re texting a friend. They get “hallucinations,” generic prose, and unusable summaries. This 60-minute intensive course is designed to end “Lazy Prompting” forever. Created specifically for student journalists, early-career reporters, and global storytellers, this course teaches you the surgical “Anatomy” of a professional prompt.
We’ve stripped away the fluff to give you a high-velocity, 3-module framework that you can apply to your next story immediately.
Stop guessing and start “programming” in plain English. We deconstruct the 5 Pillars of a Journalistic Prompt—Introduction, Instructions, Context, Constraints, and Iteration. You’ll learn to build “blueprints” that force the AI to produce high-density, professional results every time.
The news cycle doesn’t wait. Learn to offload the drudgery. We’ll show you how to use LLMs to summarize 100-page reports, extract data from messy transcripts, and brainstorm interview questions that actually get the scoop.
Your reputation is your only currency. In this final module, we tackle the “Truth Machine” delusion. You’ll learn adversarial prompting techniques to catch hallucinations, mitigate bias, and ensure a “Human-in-the-Loop” remains the final authority on every word you publish.
Fast-Paced & Visual: No boring lectures. Enjoy high-energy, “Harris-style” video explainers designed for visual learners.
