Racial Equity and Inclusion in Nonprofit News

Racial Equity and Inclusion in Nonprofit News is an INN resource of information, tools and implementation support that helps members advance racial diversity, equity and inclusion in their organizations and their journalism. 

REINN allows leaders to join an ongoing process of building racial equity into their organizational practices. Each element is designed to be accessible, particularly to small and mid-size news operations, in any stage of their DEI work. It's a living, evolving program based on member needs and participant feedback, so please check this space regularly to find new opportunities.
