Ethnic Media Services briefing to the Media on Los Angeles basin water issues.

American Community Media (ACoM), formerly called Ethnic Media Services, works to enhance community news outlets’ capacity to inform immigrant and American-born minority audiences nationwide about broad, timely public issues to build a more inclusive participatory democracy. For community media sector reporters, it convenes weekly online briefings with experts, newsmakers, and community organizers that are simultaneously interpreted in three languages; organizes professional trainings; provides reporting fellowships, commissions special reports, and provides trainings, among other activities. It coordinates public service ad campaigns to ensure a more equitable investment of ad revenues in the community media sector, including outlets missed by mainstream agencies. ACoM produces, translates, and syndicates multilingual original news stories, and develops communication projects with underserved groups to expand their public voice.

We know that you have many choices when it comes to how you spend your money. We thank you for choosing to entrust some of it to us so we can continue to inform and educate audiences through ethnic media outlets on the most important issues of the day.
