Hearst Television’s syndicated Matter of Fact is available in 181 markets covering 95% of the U.S. Like many news organizations, Matter of Fact and the 33-owned Hearst stations underwent some soul-searching following the George Floyd murder two years ago. They wanted to elevate the concerns of communities that often lacked media attention. Executive Producer Rita Aleman says: “The mission of the show was always to share voices as diverse as America, slices of life that people should see in order to understand how issues play out across the country.”
