Three of our incredible Digital Equity fellows representing News is Out at #NLGJA

Our News is Out: National Queer Media Collaborative publishers rocked it at NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists last week!

Ahhh now this is a good idea. We've seen a handful of news orgs do influencer partnerships in other cohorts we've run, but not an entire project based on it. Love it.

Happy to be in Chicago again for #LMAFest2024 with 220+ other local media leaders. We literally ran out of seats for our opening lunch!

Newsrooms covering natural disasters have often found launching a text service is the best way to distribute info. NOLA's done this after hurricanes, the Statesman and Texas Tribune after the winter storm. Who's doing it for Asheville local news? Anything in the works David Cohn?

Penny Riordan Yes citizen-times.com/story/news/202… Working on launching some others too.

The New York Amsterdam News is looking for freelance writers to cover various news topics. Go to amsterdamnews.com/freelance for more information.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month, and 100 years ago the first gay publication launched in the U.S. Will you donate to News is Out: National Queer Media Collaborative to help support the next 100 years of LGBTQ+ journalism? We hope to expand this inaugural event to more local outlets next year: newsisout.com/2024/09/local-…

I struggle to think of a news organization using this much real estate on a homepage to remind citizens of an important deadline: The last day to register to vote in Texas. Bravo Texas Tribune. Maybe journalists should include more urgent messaging like this to empower readers:

So happy to see LGBTQ+ pubs on the Press Forward list, including News is Out: National Queer Media Collaborative members Dallas Voice and Windy City Times, as well as our friends LOOKOUT, Watermark, and QnotesCarolinas: pressforward.news/press-forward-…

Our livestream event on #project2025 will begin shortly: youtube.com/watch?v=7-t6pi…

Here's what Chasten Glezman Buttigieg has to say about the impact of #project2025 on the LGBTQ+ community. Tune in on our live stream: youtube.com/watch?v=7-t6pi…

Moderating with our Managing Director Dana Piccoli is Washington Blade's White House correspondent Christopher Kane. Kane brings an essential LGBTQ+ perspective to his reporting. That's why queer-owned media outlets like the Blade and others are important: youtube.com/watch?v=7-t6pi…

Really important data from my home state and appreciate all the work of journalists in Nevada and across the country tonight:

What's next for the LGBTQ+ movement? Big piece from Washington Blade Editor KAO. "Now’s the time to double down on hard work, determination, and compassion, especially for the trans community, which sadly will take the brunt of the incoming attacks." washingtonblade.com/2024/11/06/wha…

We as an industry are not paying attention enough to the data in the Medill Local News Initiative that breaks down each county and the voting records. There's a correlation between news deserts and those who voted for Trump. Too much of our efforts are going to the wrong communities:

If I were in a local newsroom right now, I would do the EXACT thing advocated for this Nieman Lab piece: Cover local grocery prices, rent, car insurance, etc. with more in-depth reporting. This is really what matters to readers: niemanlab.org/2024/11/the-kr…

The News is Out team is devastated by this loss. Our thoughts are with Troy's family and the Washington Blade and LA teams. The LGTBQ+ media community has suffered a great loss.
