Historically marginalized communities are trapped in a narrative that maintains a status quo of being silenced, siloed, and distorted from the majority.
Our stories are silenced: 13.8% of Newsroom employees are African-American
Our stories are siloed: 91% of White Americans social networks are comprised entirely of White Americans
Our stories are distorted: 59% of poor families are depicted in news media as Black, even though only 27% of families living below the poverty line are Black
WHY WE STAYDRMN
To establish a new narrative, alongside the greatest among us.
