American Community Media, operating under Ethnic Media Services, supports ethnic news outlets by enhancing their capacity to inform and engage diverse audiences on broad public issues, with the aim of fostering more inclusive participatory democracy. The organization achieves this through roundtable briefings that connect ethnic media with experts, officials, nonprofit leaders, and advocates; professional training and fellowships for reporters to deepen issue knowledge and access sources; and coordinated social media and marketing campaigns that help government agencies, foundations, nonprofits, and public affairs firms tailor messaging for diverse communities. It also produces and translates multilingual original news stories for ethnic media partners to bridge information gaps between government policy and its underserved audiences, and collaborates on communications projects that amplify voices from underserved groups. Based in San Francisco, California, Ethnic Media Services operates within the media production industry and serves ethnic media practitioners and related stakeholders by facilitating cross-cultural and cross-sector communication, expanding access to reporting resources, and profiling the sector to bring greater visibility to its work. A recent development notes a partnership-based media briefing in December 2022 involving California Black Media and the California Department of Public Health to discuss COVID-19 therapeutics and disparities in access, reflecting its role in coordinating and amplifying public-interest information through ethnic media channels.
