Online News Association, ONA, Since 1999, the Online News Association has been at the forefront of a truly revolutionary age in digital media. The programs and services we provide help digital journalists in news organizations around the globe and across the corporate, independent and non-profit sectors adapt to the changing environment. Our mission, inspiring innovation and excellence among digital journalists to better serve the public, has never been more important.
Our leadership status is reflected in ONA’s growth — our membership increased 18 percent in 2010 alone. Our more than 1,900 members are the producers, content editors, news directors, reporters, bloggers, technologists, designers, academics and newsroom decision-makers who are creating and refining the online medium at breakneck speed.
Not as obvious in the data but just as critical is the spirit of ONA, which welcomes non-traditional members and fosters community, out-of-the-box thinking and excitement about the future of journalism and informed citizen engagement.
ONA already offers a variety of online and in-person trainings and exposure to the latest technology and how to use it; our new website brings these valuable resources to a wider audience. Members are offered access to expertise and best practices from the most innovative minds in the business.
