I said this back in Atlanta in April running my first ever in-person training for the YESEO app. I made sure to buy the 3-year membership for ONA this year: glad to support the Online News Association and the entire team.

The 1st event I spoke at after being an @innovationrji.bsky.social fellow was a virtual presentation to the Illinois News Broadcasters Association introducing the @yeseo.app
It’s the first time I hear a success story using it.
Something even more interesting happened at PMJA this week.
