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

100% agreed with @ramsammy! @janislware & @JAWS_215 from @theatlantavoice. Knocked it out of the park with their session today during the launch of our second cohort.
Can’t think of a better way to launch cohort 2 of the @LocalMediaAssoc @TheBloomLab with @janislware & @JAWS_215 speaking to our next lab participants in the home city of @theatlantavoice. So thankful to be in the midst of history being made. Thanks @knightfdn for their support!
