Thanks, Stephanie. So some switching gears here from hosts presenter, happy to be joining this afternoon and talk about the South Jersey information equity project. But I'm one of the initiatives I managed here at the center. So we'll start with some background. The South Jersey information equity project, formed in 2019, as the center identified limited news resources in the region as part of our research, and that year, we joined with pa BJ, and the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists with the goal to improve the quality and quantity of news and information produced by and for communities of color. So from the start, we wanted this project to be powered, and driven by news and media professionals, and people living in and familiar with the issues impacting South Jersey. So with generous support from the Nicholson Foundation, we hired veteran journalist, former na BJ president and South Jersey resident Sarah Glover to assess the news landscape specifically for black communities and journalists. So in her research, she interviewed a dozen Black Journalists living and working in South Jersey, and in through 10 Community town halls help to examine how traditional and non traditional media outlets are serving South Jersey's black communities. And her research paper, she proposed solutions to help advance media equity in the region. So our initial research found a clear need for more resources, more information sharing and storytelling, and more, and the need for more support by black LED media ventures. So I'll unpack those points a bit. In terms of resources, identifying what's needed to elevate the skills and visibility of Black Journalists in South Jersey. For information sharing, and storytelling, how can we help increase those opportunities and stories produced by and for black communities. And in terms of support for black LED media ventures, I'll just bring up one example. That is of South Jersey journal, which was a monthly publication that launched in 2011. And that covered the growing African American communities of south of southern jersey. The southern the South Jersey journal reached a readership of nearly 70,000 by 2018, with distribution sites in Mercer, Burlington Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, and Atlanta counties. Now unfortunately, the journal stopped publication in 2018. And in speaking of Sara's part of this project, locals indicated that they've come to rely on the journalists coverage of South Jersey news, information and cultural events. So community members did perceive a void in local news, since the paper folded. These are the kinds of information gaps that we're hoping to mitigate through our efforts via the South Jersey information equity project. So our research focused primarily on three counties, Camden, Gloucester, and Burlington and our defined area in South Jersey. But it's 32. cities, towns or municipalities have black populations of at least 20% According to the US Census. So that's significant audience that's not being reached and served by traditional media.
