ONN – Morgan DeBaun Talks Blavity, Leadership, And The Future Of Black News With NPR
Moreover, what’s “black news” to a publication like Hearst Corporation is, in my view, news about helping poor black people, always showing us as in need of help by the white and wealthy.
Meanwhile, Morgan DeBaun raised $10.6 million to build Blavity.

On YouTube, NPR writes:
Since it’s founding in 2014, Blavity Inc. has a massive platform made for and by Black millennials, covering everything from travel and tech, to politics and news, to entertainment and lifestyle. For founder and CEO Morgan DeBaun, a modern newsroom should be built to serve its communities, and legacy media companies aren’t measuring up.

Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
