Explore the benefits



LAUNCHING HBCU STUDENTS INTO THE WORLD OF ONLINE JOURNALISM WITH A TOOLKIT OF
ESSENTIAL RESOURCES.

HBCU student media needs a digital revolution. So we formed a collaborative and
launched The Digital Media Initiative (DMI) to answer that call. In response to
critical gaps in support, the DMI connects student journalists with industry
pros, cutting-edge tech, and essential training. Our programs aim to build a
sustainable future for campus news, ensuring vibrant storytelling for the HBCU
community.
