On Sept. 21, Coloradans joined in for a two-hour panel discussion and community conversation centered on the newly-released report, ‘The time is right now:’ A call to action from Black Coloradans for anti-racist and just local news. The report came out of the Black Voices working group, led by Diamond Hardiman, project manager for News Voices: Colorado — a collaboration among the Colorado News Collaborative (COLab), Colorado Media Project and Free Press. The working group, made up of Black leaders, storytellers, journalists, funders and community members, focused on how to improve access to trustworthy news and information for Black residents throughout the state and sought tangible ways for communities, philanthropy and newsrooms to acknowledge and address the harms — historic and ongoing — local media coverage has inflicted on Black communities.
