About This Video
This is a video essay highlighting the most fundamental social problem facing African Americans, which is mainstream newsmedia bias and the absence of our national voice. It offers the obvious solution, which is to establish our own national voice in the form of a national weekly newsmagazine, which will include a daily Internet component. The irony is that we have achieved a major milestone with the arrival of the first black president on the world stage despite having yet to achieve the other important landmark of establishing our own national voice. |

ThisWeek is a national weekly news magazine, the print version will soon be launched that will provide national weekly news-media representation for African Americans and fill a long standing news-media void. It’s our{mosimage} position that, until African Americans have a national voice that presents a perspective representing our interests and concerns on a weekly basis, we are relegated to less than full participation in the society. With the establishment of U.S.A ThisWeek, no longer will the area of news be dominated by the mainstream news media nor will the proliferation of traditional pundits, politicians and news readers have a monopoly on the opinions and perspectives being posited to the public. In addition, with the new threat to our existence of international terrorism which places us all at risk, we can no longer remain quiescent and allow information that would address that threat to go unreported. Right now we’re in a Russian roulette posture based on the assessment of the current administration that “they only have to be right once; we have to be right all the time.” |
