If Black Lives Matter, how are journalists and media organizations considering Black pain in their coverage? And how are journalists and editors across the full spectrum of our media thinking about this? This week, we're introducing some new colleagues, Sara Lomax Reese and S. Mitra Kalita as the founders of URL Media, a new network of Black and Brown-owned and led community media organizations. Their members covered the murder of George Floyd and the trial of Derek Chauvin differently, and they're covering different stories, as far as possible “from a place of triumph.” 

Cierra Hinton, Executive Director-Publisher of Scalawag, a publication covering the south. She says Scalawag’s reporting comes from a “place of triumph.” Lomax Reese is the owner of WURD Radio in Philadelphia - one of the few Black family-owned talk radio stations in the US. Kalita is the co-founder and publisher of Epicenter-NYC, a newsletter innovating new models of journalism founded to support New Yorkers navigate vaccine registration during the worst of the COVID pandemic.

Music in the Middle of the Podcast:  “Breathe Through the Pain” featuring Connie Stevie by the Guitars Over Guns Organization, or GOGO, from their premiere album “The Rain May Be Pouring”. GOGO is a non-profit based in Miami and Chicago, that delivers unique after-school, arts-based youth mentorship programs designed to creatively engage and empower vulnerable youth to take control of their life paths.
