Mission

Through in-depth and thought-provoking journalism, prism reflects the lived experiences of people most impacted by injustice. As an independent and nonprofit newsroom led by journalists of color, we tell stories from the ground up: to disrupt harmful narratives, and to inform movements for justice.

Programs

1 program

Through our reflective journalism project, prism trains aspiring writers, community leaders, and frontline social justice thinkers and organizers on the editorial process, with the goal of building a deep bench of content creators and growing the network of bipoc writers telling their stories, sharing their experiences, and reporting on issues mainstream media often overlooks.
