The @Meta layoffs will be particularly hard for publishers of color. @localmediarocks explains Meta made sure that 50% of their programs were allocated to BIPOC publishers. @defendernetwork @SacObserver @NYAmNews made great digital wins in these labs niemanlab.org/2022/11/metas-…

We had an amazing behind-the-scenes look at the @afro archives. Thanks, @FrancesToniD for the tour, and look at your 130-year history!
