Thread // I'm v proud today to say that the @CenterCoopMedia has partnered with the awesome @pabj to launch the South Jersey Information Equity Project. https://medium.com/centerforcooperativemedia/center-for-cooperative-media-pabj-launch-south-jersey-information-equity-project-bb74d330a0c5
The idea for this project started with an email from @manuelsmith to me last fall. He wanted to talk about South Jersey, and specifically about the lack of news + info by and for communities of color there.
From that conversation, we decided to partner and see what we could do to address the issue. Thanks to initial support from @NicholsonForNJ, we're able to get this project off the ground. 
I'm so grateful for their support, and I know Manny is, too!

Step #1: We're hiring a researcher to help us combine the news ecosystem research that @SarahStonbely has compiled in South Jersey with an on-the-ground info needs assessment. More info here: https://centerforcooperativemedia.org/request-for-proposals-researcher-needed-for-south-jersey-information-information-equity-project/
Step #2: We'll publish what we find and fundraise so we can execute the recommendations from that researcher's report.
