Mountain West News Bureau is a collaboration of public media stations that serves the Western states of Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Our mission is to tell stories about the people, places and issues across the Mountain West. From land and water management to growth in the expanding West to our unique culture and heritage, we'll explore the issues that define us and the challenges we face.
SUPPORT FROM COLORADO MEDIA PROJECT
Advancing Equity 2023
2023 Advancing Equity Award: $10,000 to strengthen the ability of Colorado newsrooms to report in and with Indigenous communities, via cultural sensitivity trainings developed with Indigenous partners; participating members of the Mountain West News Bureau will also receive story reviews and coaching from a Native reporter.
2023 Advancing Equity Update: The Mountain West News Bureau hosted three virtual trainings, in partnership with the Colorado News Collaborative and their Voices Initiative team. This partnership helped MWNB expand the audience of journalists involved in the trainings beyond their member stations, with over 50 journalists attending the first training. They also plan to continue these trainings at the Rocky Mountain Community Radio conference in Fort Collins, and at the Colorado Press Association’s annual convention in Denver.
