ONA’s AI in Journalism Initiative delivers essential resources for journalists and newsroom leaders to understand and focus on the tech trends most relevant to their work. We’re excited to share our newest offering—AI in the Newsroom, an email series covering specific ways news organizations, large and small, are building and using AI tools.
We’ve curated about 10 case studies, each researched and written by Nikita Roy, ICFJ Knight Fellow and Newsroom Robots Podcast Host. They feature lessons from news teams in the U.S., Norway, Germany and elsewhere, delivered to email inboxes on Tuesdays for the next couple of months.

Coupled with the written case studies, we’re organizing virtual “how we built it” sessions to connect the ONA community for more learning and exchange of ideas. These events are an opportunity to see the teams you’ve read about demonstrate their AI-powered tools, ask questions and hear what they’re planning next.
Anyone is welcome to attend! The case study sessions are free and open to all ONA members and non-members.
