Content initiatives in underrepresented communities and for underrepresented content

In order to help develop the identified high-impact topics, there should be specific capacity building and support to improve high-impact content in underrepresented communities and about underrepresented content. This aims to address two gaps: 1. Lack or bias about high-impact content that leaves out underrepresented communities, and 2. Lack of contributors from those communities who are able and interested in developing content. This is why capacity building is needed to allow those communities to bridge gaps in their high-impact content. Regional and Thematic Hubs may be able to systematically support this effort.

Podporovať a budovať kapacitu okolo vytvárania obsahu a kvalitného písania v oblastiach, kde chýbajú redaktori aj obsah (alebo je známe, že obsah je neobjektívny), napríklad prostredníctvom regionálnych a tematických centier.
