How do you build a newsroom by and for Black people? Akoto can help you with that.
"We wanted to build a place that just embodied the idea that Black people deserve better for media. Black people need accurate information. It's important for democracy, and it's important for our communities, and it's important for our ability to critically engage in this country."
