Save the Black press

About 200 Black newspapers are left in America. Most are one bad year from closing.

Of the roughly 250 papers in the National Newspaper Publishers Association, 200 report they are struggling financially. Across the country, 170 local newspapers closed or merged in the past year, more than three a week. When a Black paper closes, the record of a whole community goes with it.
