Lisa Snowden-McCray is a journalist, as well as the editor-in-chief and co-founder of the Baltimore Beat, an independent online news source founded in 2017, covering social justice issues, activism, politics, arts, culture and food.[1][2] She has written for Afro-American Newspaper, the Columbia Journalism Review, Essence, The Washington Post, and the Baltimore Sun, among other publications.[3][4]
Journalism career[edit]
Lisa Snowden-McCray was born in Maryland and has been reporting in Baltimore since 2003.[5] She attended Towson University.[6] She was on staff at City Paper, prior to its closing in 2017.[6] When the paper folded, Snowden-McCray and fellow staffer Brandon Soderberg decided to revive the alt-weekly Baltimore Beat, with the intent to present journalism produced by a majority-Black staff to match the demographics of the city.[7][8][9] The revival launched in November 2017 but was forced to shut down again after four months of operation due to lack of funding.[6][10]
In March 2019, the publication relaunched operating as non-profit online news source dedicated to arts, politics, culture, music, and more. The publication is supported by the Baltimore Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, an organization founded by Soderberg, Baynard Woods and Marc Steiner.[6]
