Over the course of four sessions, more than 50 journalists and editors from Clarín explored how to apply artificial intelligence in their workflows, experimenting with new formats and designing practical solutions for daily use, with sessions built around 3 frameworks:
- A user-needs-driven approach
- An analysis of shifting consumption habits
- A strategic approach to AI as a cross-functional technology
At a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of the production processes in many newsrooms, one fundamental question becomes increasingly urgent: how can this technology be integrated in a way that strengthens the connection between journalism, formats, and audiences?
In the first half of 2025, I led a workshop inside the newsroom of Clarín, one of Argentina’s leading media outlets. The goal was to explore new narrative formats for news and move forward with the practical integration of AI into daily editorial workflows. Across four in-person sessions, I worked with 50 journalists and editors from multiple sections — Breaking News, Politics, Economy, Culture, Entertainment, and specialized verticals — in a hands-on learning environment that blended theory, experimentation, and real production.

Instead, it was about rethinking how we organize, present, and even automate information through a journalistic lens, with AI acting as a supportive partner in that process. To guide the sessions, I structured the learning around three key conceptual frameworks:
