AI Innovator Collaborative – August 2026: AI Policy in the Newsroom

AI Innovator Collaborative – August 2026: AI Policy in the Newsroom is a monthly professional development gathering for ONA members experimenting with AI, on Zoom August 11, 2026, 3–4 PM EDT; registration is members-only. Cynthia Tu, Data Reporter & News Technology Specialist at Sahan Journal, a nonprofit serving Minnesota immigrants and communities of color, discusses updating its well-developed AI guidelines for new uses and tools: how, how often, and what to consider; Matt DeFour, State Bureau Chief at Wisconsin Watch, Wisconsin’s oldest nonprofit investigative and community-forward newsroom, leads its AI Committee developing policy for journalists’ ethical AI use. This open, collaborative discussion covers best practices, privacy, accountability mechanisms, disclosures, and use guidelines, emphasizing transparency and communication for audience trust and credibility as newsrooms use AI for transcription, translation, data analysis, and headline writing.
