Whose News Is It?
"Too long have others spoken for us"
-- First Issue of Freedom's Journal, first black newspaper in the United States, 1827
Most early newspapers and magazines in the United States were aimed at English-speaking white males, although a number of newspapers were published in other languages. But in time, alternative publications began to appear, aimed at women and minorities -- those who had not been adequately represented in the news columns. In today's highly mobile, multicultural world, the news media have more ways than ever to meet the challenge of delivering news to diverse populations. |
