Google News Initiative

Shared Mission

In a rapidly changing environment for journalism, there is a need to equip journalists from around the world with powerful digital tools that can push storytelling and journalism forward.

Opportunity

With a goal to build a stronger future for journalism, we scaled Google’s in-person newsroom training by developing a robust training platform enabling anyone to get trained on investigative reporting tools, data journalism, multimedia storytelling, publishing and monetization tools.

Positive Impact

Over time, Google News Initiative has trained hundreds of thousands of journalists around the world, and built a robust network of partners working together towards a shared mission of a healthy future for journalism.
