About Infinite Patterns

Infinite Patterns, a kaleidoscope podcast, aims to demystify the building of a sustainable, thriving newsroom. Like with most puzzles, when everyone takes a corner, the picture comes into focus a lot faster. So, the Racial Equity in Journalism (REJ) Fund at Borealis Philanthropy collaborated with partners at ZEAL, a worker-owned creative arts studio alliance, and dozens of our grantee partners, a diverse group of media makers, to share their newsroom’s questions, expertise, learnings, and dreams. “Young folks who are aspiring or inspiring storytellers deserve to know that there are futures that are available to them where they can be the carriers of story for their communities,” Alicia Bell, Director of the REJ Fund, added. Infinite Patterns is the ultimate ‘I see you’ link up for Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Latine media innovators, and a treasure trove of bold and experimental insight on what a thriving media ecosystem where we are abundant and cared for looks like.

   Reparative Journalism: Healing Narratives for Social Justice

   Constant cycles of interruption, degradation, and gentrification have, in many cases, eroded common narratives about communities of color, impacting the way native residents see their city and themselves. The story that one must leave to “be something” is a footnote to every dream. Many of us found our way to journalism through the understanding that stories like that are often some cocktail of experience and intentional erasure, through the understanding that the media we consume is often de...
