The @Meta layoffs will be particularly hard for publishers of color. @localmediarocks explains Meta made sure that 50% of their programs were allocated to BIPOC publishers. @defendernetwork @SacObserver @NYAmNews made great digital wins in these labs

We had an amazing behind-the-scenes look at the @afro archives. Thanks, @FrancesToniD for the tour, and look at your 130-year history!
We are looking forward to "blooming" with the @socialnewsdesk tech. Thanks for the great presentation and awesome media math explainer!
100% agreed with @ramsammy! @janislware & @JAWS_215 from @theatlantavoice. Knocked it out of the park with their session today during the launch of our second cohort.
