Program Description
Program is the second of two focusing on Black media and its function in the community. Host Barbara Barrow speaks with Ron Hutson (head of the Urban 'Team' at the Boston Globe), Mel Miller (publisher of the Bay State Banner), and Sarah-Ann Shaw (reporter for WBZ News and host of the television program Mzizi Roots) about how people get their news, differences between reading newspapers and watching the news on television, and what the media should be doing to serve an educational purpose. Additional segments include the "Say Brother News" with reporters Leah Fletcher, Eric Sampedro, Justina Chu, and WNAC TV arts critic Tanya Hart, "man on the street" interviews with Boston residents regarding the function of the media, and the "Third World Connection" (in which the blending of Spanish, Caucasian, and African ethnicities in Brazil and the West Indies is discussed).
