Arkansas Times, a beacon of progressive journalism in Little Rock for 50 years, is striving to diversify its newsroom by including the crucial voice of the Black community, which makes up half of the city’s population. This initiative aims to ensure that their journalism truly reflects the diverse voices of Little Rock.
Arkansas Times is calling for support from its readers to help raise $50,000 towards achieving this goal. The funds will not only help add another staff member but will also contribute to making their newsroom representative of the community they serve.
This move towards diversity and inclusivity is vital in highlighting the perspectives and stories of all members of the Little Rock community. By actively working to include the Black community’s voice, Arkansas Times is taking a significant step towards more equitable and comprehensive journalism practice.
Supporters are encouraged to donate to this cause and contribute towards keeping great journalism alive in Arkansas. By investing in diverse representation in newsrooms, readers can ensure that their voices and experiences are accurately portrayed and heard. Together, we can help Arkansas Times continue to be a powerful platform for progressive journalism in Little Rock.
