ABOUT LOVE NOW MEDIA

OUR HISTORY & WHO WE ARE

Love Now Media’s mission is to create empathy-centered media for communities seeking hope by amplifying acts of love through multimedia journalism, education, and the arts.

Since 2016, Love Now Media has demonstrated an ability to offer creative, empathy-centered, solutions-focused journalism and community programming. Our work empowers and provides a lens of hope for those urgently seeking it. Our unique methodology for storytelling is rooted in African-American and Indigenous cultural storytelling and is recognized as a model for the future of journalism and community news.

Love Now Media is a non-profit 501c3 media company.

OUR VISION

Our vision is for love to be the driving force in our storytelling, news, and information we curate and produce – and for our stories to be as powerful and urgent as news that centers pain. We aim to reclaim and elevate the narratives of communities whose stories of love, joy, resilience, and culture have too often been hidden, commodified, or exploited. Through our digital platforms, print magazine, and curated community events, we strive to create spaces where people see their humanity reflected and feel inspired to serve one another. Ultimately, our vision is to build a collective action movement, fostering a more just, well, and compassionate future through the transformative power of love-rooted stories.

Our Artificial Intelligence Policy

Love Now Media is committed to embracing artificial intelligence as a tool to enhance the democratization of journalism and promote inclusive storytelling. Throughout history, technology has served as a disruptor, reshaping systems, processes, and work methods. As a forward-thinking and agile team, we actively utilize AI tools to foster equitable practices, collaboration, and the accessible distribution of information. We firmly oppose plagiarism and uphold the principles of fair and equitable compensation for the use of intellectual property.

We recognize that communities of color are often excluded from the development and design of emerging technologies and are often hesitant to engage with them. We are dedicated to staying informed and adapting alongside the ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence. This ensures that we are not left behind but are active participants in the technological evolution that is occurring.

Currently, our focus is on experimenting with AI, particularly in administrative and operational areas. No artificial intelligence content will ever be used or published on Love Now Media’s websites or in Love Now Magazine without the explicit and intentional involvement and approval of human writers and editors.

This statement is offered in the spirit of transparency, reflecting our commitment to ethical practices and continuous learning in the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
