Q&A Series: How nonprofit newsrooms serve communities of color

February 2022

How is nonprofit news meeting the needs of communities of color?

In this Q&A series, leaders from INN’s member news organizations address this central question. Responses range from creating new coverage areas, distribution channels, partnerships, fellowships, and above all, creating trust in communities served.

This Q&A series was facilitated by INN’s Sara Shahriari and Emily Roseman, with responses from various INN member newsrooms and editing by Rachel Kaminer.
