How To Support BIPOC and Working-Class Media
In this JSK Fellowships webinar, leaders of the movement for equitable journalism engage in a conversation about how funders and newsrooms can support news media for (and by) people of color and the working class.
Panel:
• Alicia Bell, Director of the Racial Equity in Journalism Fund at Borealis Philanthropy and co-creator of Media 2070, a movement for media reparations.
• Rodney Mahone, Managing Director at The Pivot Fund, a venture philanthropy organization investing in independent, BIPOC-led community news.
• Sisi Wei, Co-Executive Director of OpenNews, which recently organized an open letter to the Pulitzer Prizes asking them to require participating organizations complete diversity surveys.
The panel is moderated by Simon Galperin, a 2022 John S. Knight Journalism Community Impact Fellow and founding director of the Community Info Coop, a nonprofit leading journalism innovation in the public interest.
