Description
The U.S. Department of State's Embassy Kyiv announces an open competition for Ukrainian non-governmental media organizations and independent media outlets to implement a program that strengthens data-driven and AI-enabled journalism in Ukraine. The program will build the capacity of journalists and newsrooms to produce high-quality reporting on economic development, reconstruction, and investment through training in investigative reporting, data journalism, artificial intelligence, open-source research, cybersecurity, and responsible use of emerging technologies. The program aims to support regional and frontline media, where AI and modern digital tools can help offset wartime staffing shortages, strengthen investigative reporting, and improve coverage of local economic development and future recovery efforts. Key objectives include strengthening journalists' capacity for AI-enabled, data-driven, and investigative reporting, and fostering newsroom innovation, collaboration, and responsible use of AI.
