Onyx Impact has launched a half‑million‑dollar campaign to help safeguard the future of Black media infrastructure. Inspired by the recent arrests of journalist Georgia Fort, vice president of the Minnesota chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), per Dallas Weekly, and Don Lemon, former CNN host and host of “The Don Lemon Show,” the nonprofit launched an additional push to kick off Black History month with a specific effort in partnership with NABJ to match up to $100K in funds raised.
The initiative, “Invest in Black Media,” is a year-long campaign aimed at strengthening Black journalism across print, broadcast and digital storytelling. Onyx Impact plans to invest $500,000 in 2026 to bolster the capacity and long-term sustainability of Black media organizations. This builds on more than $1 million the organization has already invested in Black media over the past two years.
