Media Makers Project

Comstock’s aims to have a diverse newsroom in order to present broader and more nuanced coverage of the Capital Region. We launched the Media Makers Project, where we reach out to local universities and colleges to find journalism students who identify as Black, Indigenous or people of color to work closely with our editorial team to freelance for us. It’s both an opportunity for the students to write for a professional publication and to diversify the field of journalism beyond Comstock’s newsroom as they launch into their careers.
