As the year draws to a close, we invite you to join a transformative movement aimed at diversifying local news coverage in Colorado, with the goal of making 2024 a year marked by increased diversity in our local newsrooms and stories. Historically, Colorado's newsrooms have been predominantly white, grappling with issues of discrimination and systemic racism in staffing and coverage. To address this, the Colorado News Collaborative (COLab), a nonprofit organization serving over 180 news outlets across the state, has created a statewide diverse source database. Amplify Colorado is designed to help local journalists better represent the communities they cover. This publicly accessible directory features members of communities of color with expertise in subjects frequently covered by journalists, facilitating connections between these communities and local newsrooms. Your participation will help create more inclusive, accurate, and nuanced news stories, and you can also nominate others within your network to join. Rest assured, your information will only be shared with your consent or that of your nominees. Join Amplify Colorado now to be part of this transformative initiative!
