Bylines, Ledes & Biases Bria Felicien

If you didn’t think diversity in journalism was important, I’ve got a fun little story for you. I haven’t done any deep dives on any numbers – this is more of a personal take.

For this episode, I spoke with Dr. Lori Latrice Martin, someone journalists usually cite for stories. We discussed telling the whole story when reporting on topics that involve race and society, even if you're living in a new city.

I spoke with Louis Moore, a history professor based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, about why he researches black newspapers, Reading!, and how he uses Twitter as a historian.

I spoke with Donnell Suggs, sports Editor at the Houston Home Journal in Georgia about working in hyperlocal news, print media, becoming a staple in a new, small community and tips on how to start freelancing.

I spoke with Shauna Stuart, who began working on the Southern Girls Project in June 2016. The project lets "girls tell us what it's like to be a Southern girl in 2016," says the Facebook group's description.

Look for a new batch of Bylines, Ledes & Biases episodes coming soon. I've got conversations coming with Shauna Stuart, Donnell Suggs, Lori Martin and Louis Moore.
