WAN-Ifra pursued the ‘Innovate Local’ theme in a webinar earlier this month. Amedia news director Markus Rask Jensen introduced the Norwegian local media group’s new ‘Amedia AI Sandbox” – a safe environment for journalists to test and use generative AI for various time-saving tasks.

Innovate Local programme editor Cecilia Campbell says the aim is to enable more and better journalism by letting reporters use AI as an assistant.

“This means they can spend additional time in the community covering even more critical local stories,” she says. “The sandbox environment also has a trust dimension – by setting it up, Amedia guarantees safe AI use for local journalism.”
