Microsoft Journalism Hub

We're sharing tools from across Microsoft and our partners that can help rebuild capacity in local news ecosystems, restore trust in news, and reduce risks.

Supporting journalists and newsrooms

Healthy democracies require healthy news ecosystems. Technology has played a role in the disruption of news, but it can also be an important part of the rebuilding effort. Microsoft, and its Democracy Forward program, provide a host of tools and services to help journalists and newsrooms achieve more.

How will AI transform the newsroom of the future?

Microsoft, in collaboration with Semafor, The Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, The Online News Association, The GroundTruth Project, and Nota, are partnering with journalists and newsrooms to deploy AI responsibly in newsgathering and business practices to help build sustainable newsrooms.
