This past term, I launched a new one-and-a-half-credit, six-week intensive graduate course in AI and Journalism.
JRNL 520K treated AI not just as a tool but as a major change in how information is created and organized.
The course used a hands-on approach that focused on exploration, experimentation, and ethical reflection.
My approach was to consider AI as a catalyst for creativity rather than simply as a threat, so students can ask questions about what’s possible, meaningful and ethical in journalism.
