ONA20 Everywhere is in full swing!
 ONA20 kicked off last week with invigorating discussions about the latest trends in digital journalism. We heard from Katie Couric on the media landscape, Washington Post “TikTok Guy” Dave Jorgenson on how he’s connecting with Gen Z and thoughtful discussion on becoming a member-driven newsroom.
If you haven’t registered yet, come join us. We’re recording every session, and videos will be available to registered attendees as soon as they conclude—so you won’t miss out on a single conversation.
