Arkansas Times, a leading progressive journalism outlet in Little Rock, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. However, they acknowledge the need for greater diversity in their newsroom, especially in amplifying the voices of the Black community, which makes up half of the city’s population. To address this issue, Arkansas Times is seeking to raise $50,000 to diversify their newsroom and ensure that their journalism accurately reflects the diverse voices of Little Rock.
Arkansas Times is committed to creating a more representative newsroom by including more voices from underrepresented communities. They believe that this initiative is not just about hiring more staff members, but about fundamentally changing the way they approach journalism to better serve the city of Little Rock.
Supporters are encouraged to donate to help Arkansas Times reach their fundraising goal and make their newsroom truly representative of the community they serve. By contributing to this cause, supporters can help keep great journalism alive in Arkansas and ensure that the voices of all residents are heard.
Arkansas Times is dedicated to continuing its legacy of impactful journalism while also evolving to better serve the diverse population of Little Rock. With the support of the community, they aim to create a more inclusive and representative newsroom that accurately reflects the city’s demographics.
