Empowering ethnic media journalists by providing access to the latest information and opportunities available in the fields of reporting and media production. As part of our mission, EMS works to ensure that ethnic media journalists have as much access and opportunity as their counterparts in the mainstream press to media resources, reporting fellowships and other career development programs. Supporting ethnic media reporters helps to ensure the continued strength and vitality of the sector, which in turn is critical to ensuring an informed and engaged public across languages, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds.
