SpokaneFāVS is pleased to announce it has become media partners with The Black Lens, “a local newspaper focused on the news, events, people, issues and information of importance to Spokane’s African American community.”
The Black Lens launched in January of this year and is edited by writer and filmmaker Sandra Williams.
The media partnership will allow SpokaneFāVS and The Black Lens to share content, similar to the partnership FāVS currently has with The Spokesman-Review and the Religion News Service.
