As our partner in this work the CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism’s Center for Community Media (CCM) describes: “Communities of color and immigrants often rely on their own news outlets as the only trusted sources of information. Some are published in English, others in the native language of the nationality covered.
