KQ Communications of Memphis is partnering with the Public Relations Society of America, Society of Professional Journalists and Black Public Relations Society of Atlanta to launch Sources of Color, an initiative focused on connecting journalists, public relations professionals and sources to secure reputable and diverse voices for news stories as quickly as possible. Sources of Color offers such features as chat, video or call functions and the ability to share multimedia resources. A portion of the proceeds from platform memberships (starting at just under $10 a month) will go toward scholarships for students from under-represented backgrounds within PRSA’s student organization, PRSSA. “Sources of Color presents a unique opportunity to ensure diverse voices are not only heard but captured within newsrooms across the country,” said Black Public Relations Society of Atlanta president Angelo D. Jones II.
