DePaul launched its new Institute for Journalism and Racial Justice at a Loop campus event on Wednesday, Feb. 25, following a community briefing for a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement accountability platform led by former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
The institute is guided by three core goals: supporting emerging journalists, advancing racial justice in media and equipping community storytellers through events, workshops and mentoring. DePaul students, early-career journalists and community members from neighboring universities are invited to participate in the institute.
The institute was created in partnership between the university’s College of Communication and Public Narrative, a nonprofit organization seeking to diversify voices in the news and build trust between journalists and the communities they report on.
