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.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize   Working as deputy Detroit bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal, Angelo B. Henderson was honored with the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished feature writing. His dramatic narrative detailed the lives affected by an attempted drugstore robbery that ended in the robber’ s death. The Pulitzer Prize, the most prestigious award given for journalistic excellence, is presented annually by Columbia University in New York City. He is the 22nd African American to win this award since its inception in 1917. He joins the ranks of literary giants Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and the late Gwendolyn Brooks.
