17:07Now PlayingBlack Journalism Under Assault. Black Media Builds the Future in Defiance of Anti-DEI.
As anti-DEI forces squeeze newsrooms and cut Black journalists first, Black media leaders are already moving ahead of the attack—anticipating what’s coming and building structures designed to survive it.
Black journalism is facing a coordinated assault driven by newsroom consolidation and the political backlash against DEI. Roland Martin and Allison Davis, one youngest founders of NABJ lay out why the damage is intentional—and why Black media can’t afford to react late. T
🔥 Black journalists are being pushed out as consolidation and anti-DEI pressure reshape newsrooms.
🔥 The cuts aren’t accidental—Black voices are targeted first.
🔥 Survival requires seeing the attack coming and moving ahead of it.
🔥 Black media leaders are focused on strategy, foresight, and future-proofing our story.
Over the next four years, NABJ aims to raise $15 million to establish a permanent endowment. This fund will ensure the organization's long-term sustainability and expand its capacity to recruit, train, support, and uplift the next generation of Black journalists.
