Aside from @publicintegrity, most investigative reporting teams are predominantly white. @YCabreraOC personal story shows how reporters of color can lift #journalism to another level poynter.org/commentary/2023/…
The Press Forward fund is hugely welcome for #LocalNews, just make sure not to overlook the non-traditional, hyperlocal outlets that many people of color trust for their news and information, writes @TMPowell poynter.org/business-work/20… #journalism

The more #localnews is locally funded, the more sustainable it is
For the first time in @NewsMatch history, #nonprofitnews organizations attracted more matching funds from local funders than from national and regional foundations during the 2022 campaign: $5.5 million. Keep reading for more highlights 🧵 inn.org/news/newsmatch-expan…
It was an honor to work with @ibarguen for almost a decade @knightfdn. His disruptive sense of fun invigorated the arts in #Miami and Detroit; meanwhile his strategic vision helped revive #journalism nationwide nyti.ms/3ZjKSiC
Lack of diversity in newsrooms isn't just an problem for news and information, it's a problem for democracy
AAJA commemorates two years since the Atlanta shootings by continuing to make the case for more diverse newsrooms and better journalism that is inclusive of AAPIs and communities of color. Read Naomi Tacuyan Underwood’s @Poynter op-ed: poynter.org/commentary/2023/… #MoreAAPINewsLeaders
Unfortunately the idea of full justice in America is threatening to some ... I don't think justice is a partisan issue. It's patriotic, and some of the most patriotic people in America are those who have been denied justice - @darrenwalker #kmf23
