It was an honor to be part of of the selection panel for the Clarence B. Jones Impact Award -- and a pleasure to vote for El Timpano's great work. Do check them out.

We are indebted to @comnetwork.org, its members and judging panel for this recognition, to Sylvia Ewing of @publicnarrative.bsky.social for the nomination, and to our incredible team, partners, and community of supporters who make our work possible. Thank you!! 💙

Judges stated: "El Tímpano exemplifies how local journalism can meet this critical moment through authentic community engagement and innovative two-way communication."

The award is named in honor of Dr. Clarence B. Jones, a hero of the Civil Rights Movement who helped draft Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and a paragon of what communications for good can accomplish.
