The Palestinian Network for Media Development Organization (PNMD), in cooperation with the Google News Initiative (GNI), launched the third day of its specialized training program aimed at strengthening digital verification skills and integrating Google tools into journalistic work. The program brings together Palestinian journalists from various governorates across Palestine.
The program is part of PNMD ongoing efforts to support young journalists, enhance their professional and technical capabilities, and empower them to keep pace with rapid developments in digital media and artificial intelligence. These efforts contribute to fostering a media environment better equipped to adapt to technological and professional transformations.
The program aims to develop participants’ skills in using digital tools and artificial intelligence technologies throughout the various stages of journalistic work, including research, information verification, content and data analysis, idea development, and journalistic content production. It also emphasizes the importance of using these tools responsibly and adhering to professional and ethical standards in media practice.
The third training day focused on exploring and analyzing large collections of documents and records using Google’s search technologies and artificial intelligence tools.
The training was delivered by Pamela Kasrouani, from the Google News Initiative for the Middle East and North Africa. She presented practical guidelines and applications on leveraging artificial intelligence tools to enhance journalistic work, particularly in research, analysis, information organization, and content production. These practices help improve journalistic efficiency while maintaining professional standards of accuracy and credibility.
