SUCH an important report on Black news media from @newmarkjschool's @CCMNewmarkJ: @cthompsonmorton + @gmochkofsky. We must give much more support to Black & Latino media (mass media had their chance). This report demonstrates why:
blackmediareport.journalism.cuny.edu
blackmediareport.journalism.cuny.edu
e.g.: "Black media publishes, by a factor of as high as 6X, more coverage than MSM on issues of importance to Black communities, including racism, health disparities, & voting access. 23% of articles in Black media mention racism or related issues, vs. 8% in mainstream media"
Shameful indictment of MSM & reason to reconsider every beat!:
In coronavirus coverage, Black media wrote five times more than mainstream media on the disproportionate racial impact of the pandemic, and nearly twice as much as mainstream media on frontline and essential workers.

And: "The issue of voting access was included in 12% of all politics stories in Black media, which is more than twice the percentage for mainstream media (5%)"
From the Black Media Report: 
This is shameful and shocking:
I have been arguing that every beat & every j-school curriculum must be rethought in light of equity.
But now I repeat: MSM has had its chance. We must support, start, and grow media that are owned by and serve the communities too long not served by mass media.
