Black press

The Black press refers to newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets that are owned and operated by Black individuals or organizations, primarily focusing on issues relevant to the Black community. Historically, it emerged as a response to the mainstream media's neglect or misrepresentation of Black people and their experiences. The Black press plays a crucial role in advocating for civil rights, providing a platform for Black voices, and promoting cultural and social issues. It has been instrumental in shaping public opinion and mobilizing communities, particularly during pivotal moments in history, such as the Civil Rights Movement.
