Ms. Talibah Chikwendu, a freelance writer for the Afro-American Newspapers, a former writer and photograper for the Daily Banner, Editor of the Baltimore and Washington AFRO-American newspapers, and Mr. Jason Newton, anchor and reporter for WBOC TV 16 (CBS affiliate) paid us a visit this weekend (4/15) to discuss the media and the minority communities. We concluded that the media must report the news, and they report what they think is of most interest to the public.
The public can help to determine what's written or aired by 1) contacting the media (Editor's desk) to share news worthy information, 2) realizing the media is there to share information with the public and not to solve problems, 3) patronizing or do not patronize businesses that sponsor media stories, 4) being involved in your community 5) writing letters of appreciation or complaints to the reporters
. If we'd like to be treated a certain way by the media, we must make it happen. It won't happen my accident, or through someone else ----- where have I heard that before?
Thank you Ms. Chikwendu and Mr. Newton --- we'll be reading your articles and listening to you, ------- and taking your advise.
