This event is free and open to all, regardless of ONA membership. Register now.
In news you might have missed: We continue to expand the types of resources we offer through the AI in Journalism Initiative, and most recently researched specific use cases in 10 newsrooms in the U.S., Germany, Sweden and elsewhere.
