Join CMP for a News Voices: Colorado meeting for journalists and community members interested in joining our Black Voices working group. Featuring special guest, Joseph Torres.
Join News Voices: Colorado on Friday, January 22 at 2:15pm MST as we preview the upcoming working group: “Black Voices: Colorado,” a series of action-oriented meetings centered on addressing the information needs of Black communities in local news coverage.
Friday’s meeting will feature a conversation with News Voices: Colorado and Media 2070 about journalism’s history of harm in Black communities and the necessity for equity in newsrooms. Together, we will explore how conversations centered on repair can be valuable for journalists already working towards equitable futures.
The session will be led by News Voices: Colorado Manager Diamond Hardiman and Joseph Torres, contributing author of Media 2070 and News for All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media. Participants will review case studies, interrogate how media’s anti-Black history contributes to Colorado’s media landscape and learn more about how they can get involved in joining our Black Voices working groups
