EVANGELISTA SIE
The Chance is a digital, live magazine for Black millennials in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland that challenges stereotypes and discrimination of African diasporans in media by producing solution journalism stories on Black-lived realities in German and English using innovative formats like short animation films and musical news jam productions. Our team consists mainly of Black and Afro-diasporic journalists and media professionals. We aim to drive holistic, empowering representations of and social change for Black/Afro-descendent people in German-speaking countries. Our previous (pan-European) pilot project, blackcitystories.org, was awarded with the Stars4Media Diversity Prize in 2020.
