Abstract
Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "Politics, Economics and Social Issues - Video - The Role of Blacks in the Media: Yesterday and Today." Video from a panel discussion held Feb. 20, 2008, featuring prominent members of the Nashville media, on the historical and contemporary challenges faced by black journalists. The discussion was co-sponsored by the Nashville chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists and took place in the Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center Auditorium. The three members of the panel and the moderator are not fully identified in the video, which begins in the middle of the discussion, but two panelists are Dwight Lewis of the Tennessean and Lelan Statom of Nashville's NewsChannel 5, and evidence suggests the other may be Steven Benson of the Tennessee Tribune.
