LIFT PROJECT
The LIFT project seeks to mitigate the harm of dishonest, misinformed and incomplete narratives amplified by the news media, by circumventing systems through trusted messengers in Black communities. This solutions-based project centers the perspectives, experiences and dynamics of the Minneapolis/St Paul community.
We are currently exploring the roles of specialized media makers, including local faith and religious leaders, activists and Black journalists.
This project is supported and funded by the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication, the Miami Foundation and the Knight Foundation.
