As I work hard to create Our Chronicles I run into many who bring up other so called black media companies and I have to shed light on the industry. There is no question that these newspapers are wholly owned and operated by Blacks, unlike media outlets such as The Grio, The Root, Essence magazine or Black Entertainment Television (BET). These outlets are merely White media masquerading as Black-owned media. The Grio is owned by NBC, The Root is owned by theWashington Post, Essence is owned by Time, Inc., and BET is owned by Viacom. Each of these outlets is run by Black people who serve as the public face of their White-owned companies. Each of these outlet’s owners are all liberal and that seems to carry over into the work they produce.
