A free, hands-on night for independent journalists. Build your own AI desk for research, fact-checking, graphics and video. Sponsored by [Sponsor name].
The night
Sound familiar
What you build
Documents, records and transcripts turned into notes you can source, line by line.
Your claims checked before you publish: what's sourced, what's thin, what a critic will go after first.
The story's visual, a clean chart, and a look for your outlet that stays the same every time.
A short explainer cut from the story, ready for wherever your readers are.
Who's paying
[Sponsor name] pays for the room. They don't see your work, and they have no say in what's taught.
Sponsors are named on every page, every time. Anyone who's a party to a story independent reporters here are covering doesn't get to sponsor the night.
Who's teaching
An independent audit of how El Paso's Meta data-center deal was covered, and what the coverage missed.
An X Space on the deal, with an advance copy of the book handed out live.
The same claims-audit tool you'll use on your own drafts.
What to bring
A phone works. A laptop makes it easier. A real draft makes it useful.
For independents of every kind: newsletter and Substack writers, citizen journalists, podcasters and video reporters. No AI experience required.
