Branding In Detroit, I’ve watched the newspapers cut deliveries to three days a week and lay off my friends and former colleagues. And across the nation, pink slips are flying and more journalists are unemployed or underemployed. We shouldn’t be surprised. Since 2001, newspapers have lost nearly 10,000 journalists. While Latinos, Asians and Native Americans have made staffing gains in that time, the share of African-Americans has dropped 18.3%. In this decade, minority staffing in television has remained flat and, in radio, has dropped nearly 4% over the decade.

Testimonials

Angelo struck me as a dynamo.

Sholnn Freeman

Sholnn Freeman, former Washington Post reporter

I first met Angelo in 1999 while interviewing for a job at the Detroit bureau of the Wall Street Journal. Angelo struck me as a dynamo. He was a Pulitzer-Prize winning feature writer who wrote only for the page one.

At the height of all this, he left the paper to answer a spiritual calling. But he never lost his connection to the profession. I remember a period where he studied for a divinity degree at night and then rose at 4 a.m. to co-host a Detroit drive-time radio show that covered politics. At a time of mounting chaos in our industry, Angelo shows how with creativity, hard work and spirit we can cut our own paths as journalists and come out bigger than what we were before.
