Google AI tools for local news

A free workshop open to the Lenfest Communities of Practice

October 8, 2025

Google is joining the Lenfest Communities of Practice on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 12:30 p.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. PT for a free 90-minute workshop on its AI tools for news. The event is free and open to all community members. 

Whether you’re focused on audience engagement, financial sustainability, or other key areas for sustainability, adding AI tools into your workflows doesn’t have to be complicated. Google is building tools to help newsrooms with everyday tasks, from using Gemini for deep research to NotebookLM to help with knowledge transfer between reporters. 

If you’re interested in joining one of the Lenfest Communities of Practice, details can be found here.  

Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 24. Join us to see how these tools can support your work!
