The BILD AI Masterclass series has officially wrapped up! Over the past weeks, our BILD colleagues had the chance to delve into eight tailored modules, exploring hands-on AI applications and engaging in discussions about its role in journalism. In collaboration with the Upskilling Team of the Axel Springer Academy of Journalism & Technology, BILD’s AI experts designed the masterclass to meet the brand’s unique needs: from understanding what AI can (and can’t) do, discovering the best tools, and advancing research with AI, to exploring use cases like GPTs, videos, and avatars. This series was all about leveraging technology for future-proof journalism and seamlessly integrating AI into daily workflows.

Futureproofing journalism means combining the strengths of journalism and technology—a principle also embraced by the Axel Springer Academy of Journalism & Technology. Over the past months, the academy's journalism students and tech talents, in collaboration with our brands BILD, B.Z., and Welt as well as Snap Inc., have developed three interdisciplinary projects. These projects demonstrate how innovative approaches at the intersection of technology and journalism not only reach new, younger audiences but also foster significant societal impact. Today, these ideas took center stage at the Axel Springer Academy’s “Project Demo Day,” where all the projects were showcased. To learn more about each project, swipe through the slides for the details. ____ #AxelSpringer #Journalism #Technology #AI

Empathy and social commitment took center stage yesterday as the annual TV fundraising gala „Ein Herz für Kinder“ (A Heart for Children) concluded with an impressive 23,627,158 Euros raised! Founded in 1978 by Axel Springer, the Hamburg-based organization BILD hilft e.V. “Ein Herz für Kinder” has grown into a global aid network, supporting children’s hospitals, kindergartens, soup kitchens, schools, and families in need. The annual fundraising gala organized by BILD, first held in 1997, took place for the 24th time yesterday and was broadcast live on the German TV channel ZDF. During the event, more than 80 guests from entertainment, business, and politics joined forces to collect donations from callers and raise awareness to national and international aid projects. Soccer star Toni Kroos was honored with the “Goldenes Herz” (Golden Heart) award for his dedication to helping critically ill children through the Toni Kroos Foundation. Since 2015, the foundation, funded entirely by Kroos, has provided swift aid to families facing hardship. The fundraising gala culminated in TV host Johannes B. Kerner and guests, including Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Friedrich Merz, Chairman of the CDU, and Manuela Schwesig, Minister-President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, announcing the final sum donated, surpassing last year’s donations: 23,627,158 Euros. Thank you to all those who donated, the dedicated volunteers, and everyone who participated in demonstrating the power of empathy! ___ #EinHerzFürKinder #EHFK24 #EHFK #Charity #ChildrenInNeed #Fundraising #BILD #AxelSpringer Dr. Markus Söder Christian Lindner Franca Lehfeldt Dr. Wladimir Klitschko Carolin Hulshoff Pol Marion Horn // Photos by Daniel Biskup, Niels Starnick, and Ralf Günther

At Axel Springer, more than 18,000 employees in over 40 countries are shaping our future. And we’re always on the lookout for talent—not only in journalism, but also in fields like technology, marketing and, this might come as a surprise, gastronomy within our in-house catering and event agency, PACE Paparazzi Catering & Event GmbH (short for “People At Axel Springer Creating Catering And Events”). One of these new talents is Mujtaba Yousufi. Originally from Afghanistan, Mujtaba completed his apprenticeship in Germany and now works as a chef at PACE. He was featured in a five-part series by the regional broadcaster rbb media GmbH, which highlights individuals from around the world who are helping to bridge Germany's skilled labor gap. The series followed Mujtaba through his day, also offering a behind-the-scenes look at our PACE operations in the new Axel Springer building in Berlin.

Congratulations to POLITICO’s Benjamin Guggenheim, recipient of the prestigious Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Distinguished Reporting of Congress! His investigation, “The 401(k) industry owns Congress’: How lawmakers quietly passed a $300 billion windfall to the wealthy,” has been recognized for its deep insights into the inner workings of Capitol Hill and the forces shaping legislation. The Everett McKinley Dirksen award recognizes journalists whose work demonstrates thoughtful appraisal and insight into the workings of the U.S. Congress and represents the highest standards of journalism. POLITICO's Executive Editor, Joseph Schatz, praised this achievement: “Benjamin’s investigation exemplifies POLITICO’s unmatched strength in congressional coverage, combining deep policy expertise with relentless reporting to expose how Washington really works. This recognition underscores our newsroom’s unyielding commitment to delivering distinctive, high-impact coverage of Capitol Hill, and uncovering the hidden forces shaping legislation that affects millions of Americans.” This marks POLITICO’s second Dirksen Award in recent years, following Michael Kruse’s 2019 win. It exemplifies POLITICO’s commitment to thorough, independent reporting, which is delivered by around 500 journalists across North America and Europe. ___ National Press Foundation #Journalism #NPFAwards #POLITICO #AxelSpringer
