SXSW 2024
The Partnership That Could Save Equitable Media
Description:
President Biden has praised the Black press for its “brave” and “unflinching” role in exposing racial and economic injustice in the fight for civil rights. Especially now, diverse local news and media ecosystems are central to knowledge equity and essential within vibrant communities. But this recognition has not been matched by efforts to address economic and financial threats to local media. Philanthropic efforts to fill the funding gap are laudable but insufficient. We explore how to partner with community lenders to create holistic and value-aligned financing for local and diverse media.
