Mainstream Media Vs. Ethnic Media Term Paper

For example, the Monday, June 12 online version of the New York Beacon has on the front page a story (originally published May 24, 2006) titled "Ray Nagin Re-Election Forced by Power Grabbing Whites." The story reported that it was "white people, not blacks, who got Ray Nagin elected." Another story of great interest to black readers was the article (May 6, 2006) on U.S. Congressman Bill Jefferson, who is accused of accepting bribes, and whose Capitol Hill office was raided by the FBI ("Is a Double-Standard being used to Judge Rep. Bill Jefferson?"). The Beacon has several parts of the paper available (Opinion, Sports, Lifestyle, Obituaries, Family) available through links on the front page. Under "Op-Ed" an article by Jimmy Booker reports that "Bob Brown, one of Africa's greatest sons on Friday, May 12, 2006 filed a historic lawsuit with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Law Division against all beneficiaries of slave trade." Actually, Friday was May 9, not May 12, but the story was very interesting, and not found in any other New York papers' front pages.

The Amsterdam News has two small ads on the front page, AT&T and UPS; it also has the same links along the left hand column as the Beacon, including "Opinion." In today's "Opinion," Alton Maddox Jr. writes about the ongoing racism against blacks in the form of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, who has said the claim of rape by a black woman against white Duke Lacrosse players, is a hoax.
