What I will say is that we encounter a lot of young, Black journalists in the work that we do. Our concern is that with what they encounter as they enter the industry, or the barriers they face that keep them from getting into the industry, they're just not going to want to enter journalism at all. This is a problem for us because we know that we need more Black journalists.
It's one of the reasons that the CABJ media started a boot camp. We have a program where we train and equip Black journalists to launch their own digital media start-ups because there are so many who are frustrated with the situation in the industry and have decided that they could best serve their community if they skip the newsroom altogether and built a platform to speak directly to this underserved audience.
