Content: A: People don't always feel like the media works for them — and for good reason. Local news outlets have long misrepresented and maligned communities of color. Our work seeks to amplify the voices of people of color so they have a role in to setting the news agenda and changing coverage of their communities. Q: How can journalists connect with communities? A: Adapting strategies that organizers use allows journalists to build trust with communities and uncover untold stories. We've created resources to help reporters adopt an organizing mindset and deepen their community engagement. Locations
