ONADC: Sunlight Foundation data tools

 An ONA Local event, hosted by ONA DC

So, what’s your beat?

Whatever your answer, fear not: The Sunlight Foundation hereby pledges we have a tool that can make your life easier. Join us as we walk through our legislative email alert platforms (that’s state AND federal), political influence tools, real-time trackers and then some.

Love data? Code like a boss? We’ll cover our wide-ranging API catalogue and key you in on some federal data sets you probably don’t know about.

These tools are geared to help any reporter dig deeper into their beat. So whether you’re covering the bustling 2014/2016 election cycles, a burgeoning fracking industry or Justin Bieber, we’ve got you covered.

And thanks once again to Medill for the space to host the event!

— Tiffany, Matt, Jessica and Joey
