MLK50: Justice Through Journalism is a nonprofit digital newsroom based in Memphis, Tennessee. Founded in 2017 by Wendi C. Thomas, the organization focuses on investigative journalism that highlights systemic inequities related to poverty, power, and public policy. It aims to amplify the voices of marginalized communities, particularly those affected by wage disparities and healthcare inequities. The newsroom produces in-depth reports on issues such as labor rights and corporate practices impacting low-income residents. It prioritizes community-centered reporting, ensuring that narratives from individuals directly impacted by systemic poverty shape public discourse. MLK50 collaborates with national partners to advocate for underreported issues, reflecting its commitment to economic justice and accountability. The organization maintains strict editorial independence and transparency, including public disclosure of major donors.
