OpenAI has added a new set of Academy videos for journalists and news organizations, expanding its media-focused training with practical lessons on using ChatGPT in daily newsroom work. The ChatGPT 101 for Journalists collection sits inside the OpenAI Academy for News Organizations, a learning community listed with 1,409 members. OpenAI Global Affairs announced the videos on LinkedIn, describing them as “specifically tailored for news organizations and journalists.” The four-video collection includes Build Your Own Assignment Editor, Power Prompting, Upskill With Skills, and Skills vs. Agents. The videos were published between July 7 and July 13, 2026, and are presented by Evan Hirsch. Build Your Own Assignment Editor shows how a Workspace Agent can review approved sources such as a calendar, inbox, Slack or Teams channel, and documents, then turn that information into a short morning brief. Power Prompting uses a city council agenda item to show how a weak prompt can be rebuilt into a clearer reporting instruction, covering role, task, context, output, limits and check. Upskill With Skills explains how a ChatGPT Skill can capture a recurring process and return a consistent type of output each time.
