The subject matter: representation and diversity in mainstream media coverage
The Film: Breaking The News
Seeking to buck the white male status quo, a group of women and LGBTQ+ journalists launch a news startup asking who’s been omitted from mainstream coverage, and how to include them.
This grant was awarded as part of Subject Matter’s collaboration with the 2023 Tribeca Festival.
