Three veteran New Orleans journalists announced on Wednesday the launch of a nonprofit news organization designed to serve marginalized groups in and around the city, becoming the latest in a series of nonprofit newsrooms across the country that aim to reverse the spread of local news deserts.

Called Verite, the publisher will report on subjects including education, housing, health care and criminal justice, with a heightened emphasis on centering Black and brown communities whose voices have been historically ignored.
