For their privacy, we therefore can&#8217;t make member information available to ONA Local organizers. However, under certain circumstances we can email our members in the area for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can ONA email members in my region about my event?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Currently, our membership system doesn&#8217;t allow for automatic notifications of Local events happening near our members, and with hundreds of events happening each year our staff can&#8217;t send dedicated emails manually for each event. However, in some circumstances we can email our membership lists for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When a new ONA Local group is hosting its first event<\/li>\n<li>When ONA staff is co-hosting an event with your ONA Local group (usually this happens in coordination with special campaigns or longer workshops)<\/li>\n<li>When your ONA Local group hosts a meetup at the ONA annual conference, we will send a geotargeted email to attendees from your region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How can I get my ONA Local event listed in ONA&#8217;s newsletter, <a href=\"http:\/\/journalists-org-develop.go-vip.co\/newsletter\">ONA Weekly<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you post your events on Meetup.com, we&#8217;ll get a notification and we&#8217;ll add them to our newsletter. If you&#8217;re using another site to manage your event (such as Facebook or Eventbrite) you&#8217;ll need to notify us about the event. You can do this by emailing comms@journalists.org, meghan@journalists.org and diana@journalists.org. Events published as of Monday, 4 p.m. ET before each issue are included in the newsletter\u2019s &#8220;Upcoming Events&#8221; section.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does ONA promote ONA Local events on social media?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter:<\/em> We post or amplify (RT) ONA Local event information 2-4 times leading up to the date, with timing depending on when it was announced and volume of other events happening around that time. Tip: We encourage organizers to tag the @ONA account in their posts, as it makes it even easier for us to see and amplify the work they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Instagram:<\/em> Every Thursday, newly announced events that were added to ONA Weekly are featured in Instagram Stories (<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/online_news\">@online_news<\/a>) with swipe-up links to event pages. Each Story is then saved to the \u201cUpcoming Events\u201d Highlight, which is regularly refreshed to feature only upcoming dates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can I share what happened at my event with the wider ONA community?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ONA&#8217;s communications team will reach out to you in the lead-up to your event to ask for photos from your event to be featured on ONA&#8217;s Instagram account. We&#8217;ve also been testing Instagram Stories takeovers for ONA Local groups and have been booking these takeovers via direct outreach to organizers. In the future, we plan to set up a system for people to sign up to host Instagram takeovers on their own, so stay tuned for more. In the meantime, you can check out past takeovers on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/s\/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3OTUxNTk0OTExMDMzMTEz?igshid=1gamvjhlht2et&amp;story_media_id=2049728627130886811\">Instagram Highlight<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, ONA Local groups also produce blog coverage of their events for publication on journalists.org.
