In the meantime, it has been blogs that has (should be: “…it has been blogs that HAVE…” not HAS)been changing the playing field on how news is reported. Large newspapers such as the LA Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution and others all have incorporated blogs as part of their Internet presence. To his credit, Martin has incorporated podcasts as a part of his newspaper.

The “Black loyalty at any cost” mantra has not and will not work in today’s marketplace especially if you are not willing to embrace change. Like everyone else, the typical black reader has become more savvy on how and where they get there (should be “THEIR”, not “THERE”) information. Hopefully black newspapers will do the same instead of looking for a handout.
