Tom's first guest today on Midday is Lisa Snowden. She’s the editor in chief of the Baltimore Beat, a Black-owned and Black-controlled newspaper and online journal. After a brief run a few years ago, it will be back next month with substantial philanthropic funding, a new team and a focus on underserved and under-represented communities.

Lisa Snowden joins us on our digital line from Baltimore.
