Acknowledging Journalism’s History of Harm

To honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, our January Storytellers of Color features Diamond Hardiman, Reparative Journalism Manager with Free Press. 

Hardiman speaks with KGNU’s Rossana Longo-Better on the newly created Reparative Journalism Project, a video series which is the brainchild of Media 2070 and News Voices.

The first video of the series, called A Journey Toward Reparative Journalism, discusses the legacy of harm in journalism and the subjugation of Black and Indigenous folks as a central root of journalism. The framework of reparations offers a co-created process of repair that journalism institutions must undertake — and that Black communities can learn from to begin their own healing.
