ONA26 Unconference - Session 8: The City Hall Reporter's AI Toolkit: Sharing What Actually Works
Wednesday, April 1, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT
Speaker: Jonathan Bash, CEO and founder of Locunity
Forget the hype cycle — let's get specific. This session is a working show-and-tell for journalists and newsroom technologists who are actually using (or trying to use) AI to cover local government. Bring your workflows, your prompts, your scrapers, your failures.
Unconference sessions are attendee-generated and voted-upon programming that are less formal and require less planning than traditional conference offerings. Running in sequential hour blocks from 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM on Wednesday, April 1, these open-source concepts will close the ONA26 conference.
