ONA Weekly #572: Two-part Series On AI Disclosures

By on July 30, 2025

ONA25 in New Orleans (Sept. 10-13) is where journalism’s changemakers gather to discover emerging trends, clarity for their strategy and peers that just get it. Come solo or bring the whole team—we can’t wait to welcome you! Register today.

How to approach transparency about AI use

By now, disclosing AI use in journalism is generally accepted as a best practice, but what does “best” actually look like? We’re excited to bring back Lynn Walsh, Assistant Director at Trusting News, for a two-part series with practical guidance to get you there. 

Register for the next AI training session
