Summary: | Before they became household names, had hit records, secured multi-million dollar contracts or became leaders in the U.S. Congress, it was the Black Press that was always there for their press conferences and events, often giving them extensive coverage when the mainstream media might only give them a brief mention in the B-section of their newspapers or 15 seconds at the end of an evening news segment. [...]they don't have time to give interviews to Black newspapers or magazines; there's no time to make the visits to Black radio stations, where they once made regular appearances; their (usually) white public relations and management staffers guard their time and appearances carefully, and shun Black-owned media. Rosetta Miller-Perry is the publisher of the Tennessee Tribune, which is a member publication of the National Newspaper Publishers Association. |
