Three years ago, the Black Media Initiative published Why Black Media Matters Now, a comparative analysis between Black and mainstream media during the last presidential election cycle. The research showed that Black media talked about topics of importance to Black communities more often, and connected news events to history in a way mainstream media did not.

Join us for a public conversation with three community leaders who will share how they built and organized their archives, how they monetize them, and some of their favorite stories and images.
