Mixed reality meets journalism
Our next event is for XR professionals in journalism and other people curious about experimenting with XR technologies for news. Join us online for the ONA XR Community Meetup on Dec. 9, 2–3:30 p.m. EST (19:00–20:30 UTC). The meetup will be an energetic gathering with facilitated networking and idea-sharing. It’s a participatory event, not a webinar, so come ready to contribute ideas alongside peers, new mentors and potential collaborators. Register now for the XR meetup.
Plus: We’re always on the lookout for helpful resources. If you have inspiring examples of XR in journalism or a recent guide that’s informing your work, reply directly to this email. We can share with the community in a future issue of this newsletter.

Project Veritas v. New York Times Company
 On Nov. 22, ONA joined 50 other journalism organizations in an amicus brief arguing against the prior restraint imposed by the New York court against The New York Times at the behest of Project Veritas. The position argues that the restrictions on publication and newsgathering violate the First Amendment and would greatly harm journalists’ ability to do their job—reporting newsworthy information in the public interest. Organizations joining this filing, led by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, include The Associated Press, New England First Amendment Coalition, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Society of Environmental Journalists.
