#NLAinNOLA Raffle - 30 min. Video Hangouts
The ASNE and APME Boards are built of some of the top leaders in the journalism industry, so as a special perk of attending our conference, we are raffling off some one-on-one time with these leaders.

We will be raffling off 35 hangouts and will be announcing the winners during the week leading up to the conference. 

Watchdog Reporting
A new national initiative from Resolve Philadelphia
Reframe aims to help journalists improve their coverage of mis- and under-represented communities through authentic, human-centered language. Over the next year, we'll be developing tools and resources that enable newsrooms to work through language and style challenges (like discontinuing the use of "illegal aliens," "addict" and "junkie," for example or when to use person-first language); testing those tools during a pilot program in 2020; and evaluating the impact they have on trust in news audiences.

We’re kicking off our work with an Editorial Cycle Survey to help us analyze how newsrooms make decisions about language and style throughout the editorial process. Answers can be contributed anonymously and are for internal research purposes. The survey is open through August 16.

In Memoriam

Former Tribune editor Jack Howey dies at age 93

How can AI help local newsrooms?
Come learn how automation and artificial intelligence is helping news organizations find, produce and distribute the news and brainstorm how these technologies can best be brought to the local landscape. Associated Press and the Quartz AI Studio are convening a group of journalists for an all-day session Sept. 11 at the Sheraton New Orleans (the ONA hotel). Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided courtesy of the Knight Foundation.

If you’d like to attend, email John Keefe at jk@qz.com and Lisa Gibbs at lgibbs@ap.org . Can’t come but still interested? Email us about that too.
Morning: We’ll review the tools, services and approaches being used in the news industry. We’ll hear from Newsday, which has been working with AP and the Brown Institute to explore how to use automation in their education coverage. And we’ll catalogue the tools and resources most needed for local and smaller news organizations.

Lunch: Small group discussions on how we might get newsrooms what they need the most.

Afternoon: Let’s make real plans for training, prototypes, and more.
