About the Institute
The Institute for Journalism and Racial Justice, a partnership between DePaul University and
Public Narrative, supports independent journalists and advances more inclusive storytelling. The institute is guided by three key goals:
- Support emerging and freelance journalists by providing mentorship and workshops based on targeted assessments to help deepen skills and content creation ability.
- Advance racial justice in media by creating space for dialogue, learning and action that challenges inequitable media practices and promotes narrative change by employing asset-framing, solutions journalism and other innovative journalism practices towards more inclusive storytelling.
- Equip community storytellers by connecting DePaul journalism students, students from other universities, and non-journalist community members with Public Narrative's Chicago Independent Media Alliance members through networking activities, workshops, and other meaningful activities.
