In this conversation, Andrea speaks with Tracie Powell, founder of The Pivot Fund, about the critical need for funding in BIPOC media and grassroots journalism. The Pivot Fund invests in independent community news organizations that serve communities historically overlooked by mainstream media. Tracie discusses the challenges faced by traditional journalism, the importance of trust in media, and the role of philanthropy in supporting underrepresented communities. She shares her journey into journalism and philanthropy, the criteria for funding through the Pivot Fund, and how citizens can support local journalism. The conversation emphasizes the power of information and community action in driving change.
