Hear from media entrepreneurs of color and funders on why we aren’t seeing more media startups in under-served communities. Expect a lively chat with insights into how local media entrepreneurship — especially those led by people of color — presents the opportunity to fill gaps filled by cuts in legacy outlet budgets, or where communities were never well-served in the first place.
This session is designed for:
Funders who want to create a more inclusive startup environment
Media entrepreneurs, especially those who want to focus on underserved communities, interested in learning more about funding mechanisms
Those passionate about local news ecosystems and how they can be more representative
