To strengthen ethnic media in New York City and increase its contributions to mainstream media by expanding media training for immigrant journalists

To bring new perspectives to civic discourse in New York City, this project will strengthen the ethnic media through a training program called Feet in Two Worlds. While the ethnic media’s role in New York City is expanding, immigrant journalists still struggle to find an audience and platform outside their communities. Feet in Two Worlds will provide blogging and online journalism training and mentoring for up to 20 immigrant and ethnic media journalists. A smaller group will participate in the project’s public radio training program.
