Super excited to (finally) share I’m a @report4america Corps Member! We are a group of 225 journalists joining more than 160 newsrooms across the U.S. when we’re needed most. I’ll be covering the growing Latinx community in #Charlotte at both @WFAE and @LaNoticia! (1/4)
It’s no secret the journalism industry has been hit hard financially, but it’s also cost some 1,300 communities across the country their local news source. And the #COVID19 pandemic isn’t making it any easier https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-killing-local-news/608695/ (2/4)
So, what is @report4america, you ask? Report for America is a program of the nonprofit The @GroundTruth Project, with a mission to restore journalism from the ground up by supporting the next generation through field reporting in under-covered corners of the world (3/4)
I am beyond grateful to be covering a beat that is near and dear to my heart for TWO (!!!) newsrooms that really want to improve this underserved community’s ability to stay informed and be heard (4/4)
