Philly Black News

This is a appeal to all Black Newspapers; we are Media Advocates, a product

of Studio 2 Productions. Media Advocates is a multimedia production company

and we are writing you to introduce an exciting new concept. The concept of

looking at the communications industry objectively. With the cooperation of all

Black Newspapers and any media format, and all citizens that believe that the

communication media is bias towards minorities. The communications media is

bias towards minorities in their reporting news stories about us. Also, we are

under-represented on most of the national prime time news reporting. CNBC,

MSNBC, CNN, Fox, and finally all other recognized news reporting agencies. We

as a people are practically non- existing as it relates to positive images on the

Sunday Morning News broadcast panels. They either have a handpicked African-

American face that fails to be up to speed on the topics being discussed. Or

there may be someone from the house staff that has become desensitized to

misuse and abused suffered by the field population.

All of this results in minimizing our contributions and achievements or either

makes mockery, or stereotypical telling of half-truths or outright lies on daily

bases. It was one of the great achievements in our history that Barrack

Obama, has become the President elect of the United States. However, in the

last 22 months in his run towards the Presidency, most of us saw the way

President elect Barrack Obama had to smile in the face of adversity, stay

focused, and keep moving forward. Every citizen that supported and voted for

President Obama felt the impact of each punch, each swipe, each low blow, as

the pundits scrutinized his every move. How many times did you review the

many, news shows on daily bases and become upset at the lies, untruths and

misrepresentation of Mr. Obama, and African-Americans, as a whole? Also,

when we don’t see ourselves in media ad’s, maybe they don’t want our money?

Which at this point they are able to continue this practice, because we don’t

collectively complain when the media treat us negatively. At the same time they

should be complemented when a job is well done.
