“What general-market local newsrooms fail to understand is that readership is inextricably tied to representation.”
2020 forced several newsrooms to finally reckon with the complaints that journalists of color have lobbed for years: The industry is too white, male, and straight. Our collective failure to recruit, develop, and retain talented journalists who don’t fit into any of the above has resulted in narrow coverage of the world around us. The consequence is Americans’ failure to understand what’s going on in their own backyards.

The pandemic has infiltrated and upended our lives in innumerable ways. As the year wore on, Next City sought out, and reported on, the ways that such disruptions could lead to lasting reform across sectors such as housing, drug treatment, education and criminal justice reform. We published more than 200 city-by-city responses to COVID-19; in doing so, we found the helpers that have made people’s lives easier.
Join Next City as we dig into the long-term potential of four quick-pivot innovations: repurposing hotels as affordable housing; mobilizing methadone delivery during stay-at-home orders; training research librarians as contact tracers; and working with local businesses to supply incarcerated youth with books, games, and PPE to make their isolation bearable, safe and stimulating.
