Too few minorities occupy the nation’s media jobs – KansasCity.com
Here we have this wide open medium we called the Internet. But for some it means nothing unless there is room on the the shrinking boat owned by Mister Charlie.

I’m doing a little rewind here by going back to some posts I did in the past.
I just thought of something. The NAACP is crying that CNN does not have enough Black people behind the news desk during the prime time hour. Just wondering here, but why no comment on the all White lineup of MSNBC? They even said that this is something they would expect from FOX. But again, what [...]
I’ve talked about this subject before (I’ve talked about it here as well), and I see that it has come up again. This time from a very different angle.

First the news…
“The new Atlanta-based TV network Bounce, targeting African-Americans and set to launch this fall, is taking advantage of the digital spectrum broadcast networks have been using since 2009.
The company is majority owned and operated by African-Americans, with Martin Luther King III and former U.N. ambassador and Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young part of the [...]
Any day now I am cutting video service from our cable company and just sticking with Internet. We are currently looking at some Internet based television options. I rarely watch television and what we are paying to crap TV is just nuts.

What I wrote earlier this week:
“[Stanley E.] Washington (NCAAOM President & CEO) goes on to say in the article that Comcast should give us (Black folks) 50 channels, not 4 to own and operate as we wish.
Again, the two things that I still have not heard from Washington and NCAAOM is what do they plan [...]
The race godz are not happy (they never are) over the Comcast-NBC U merger. Their main argument? There needs to be not just more minority-based programing, but there needs to be more minorities at the switch. The more I read about this battle, the more I am realizing that this has less to do with [...]
Like Ken Gibbs Jr., I am also very excited about the prospects of Google TV. But will it be a game changer for Black media? I do not think so.
Google TV is beyond simple video sharing. It will give people the chance to create their own video content and have it immediately accessible to [...]
For the city of Atlanta, this is pretty major. Tyler Perry does deserve part of the credit for making this city a viable investment for the film entertainment industry.
Atlanta approves Screen Gems deal
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — On the same night what could be the final episode of “One Tree Hill” aired, the studio that [...]
Parents at little league games can be just downright funny. A kid could make very little effort to get the ball and based on the parents on the sidelines, you would think the child just won the World Series. It is one thing to encourage someone, but overkill is something completely different. It also makes [...]
Aaron McGruder cracks on everybody. So it wasn’t that surprising to me that he recently decided to take a swipe at Obama supporters in his latest episode of “The Boondocks”.
And just think that months ago, something like this would have probably been banned from television or at least created some type of uproar [...]
