Mission
With the failures and downsizing of local news media, vulnerable minority populations in New Orleans and much of the region are facing existential threats that hold back our community and prevent us from reaching our full potential in a competitive world. While many larger media companies have the resources, they lack the desire or insight to act, and the few others are just too small to have an impact to effectively galvanize the community or to address the inequities facing communities of color. The racial wealth gap in home ownership, health care and education, as well as systemic disparities in criminal justice and voter disenfranchisement are among the issues that have perpetuated poverty and stunted opportunity for these people and the community as a whole. Being a voice to the voiceless and a conduit for community engagement, raising awareness and finding the common ground that produces a society that values all human resources and raising the standards of living for all is who we are.
