RiseUp Magazine

A husband-wife team is launching RiseUp, a magazine devoted to diversity and racial dialogue in America. According to Newsweek's coverage: "RiseUp, a new weekly magazine that will be inserted in Sunday newspapers beginning June 22. Printed in Kansas City, the magazine is expected to initially reach 4.5 million readers."

I find this very exciting. I hope this magazine helps report on and contribute to the amazing national discussion on race, ethnicity and American diversity at this important time.

According to the magazine's website:

RiseUp is a weekly newspaper magazine insert, which will address race relation issues, and be distributed through major metropolitan daily and weekly newspapers in the top 15-25 metropolitan areas. The primary goal of RiseUp is to provide an ongoing forum with information and tools to improve race relations. The magazine will address important issues affecting the nation and its racially diverse and ethnic communities. RiseUp will cover, in-depth, timely topics in the areas of health, education, politics, business and cultural uniqueness.
