The mission of Central Arkansas Press

Without being deliberately provocative, please consider that having media outlets that cater to specific ethnic groups does not have to be regressive or racist, but progressive and simply a sign of the times.

One might agree that the Black community continues to be underserved by mainstream television, radio, newspaper, and digital media outlets despite its appearance of inclusion. Since we no longer live in a (legally) segregated society, some people might believe that the time has long since passed when separate Black media is necessary.

So why does UrbanMediaGroup (UMG) promote a segregated publication? In our opinion, the answer is, we don’t. We don’t need a separate, Black, newspaper in the 21st century, but we deserve to have one. And therein lies the difference between past and present.

In 1827, when the first Black-owned and operated newspaper was launched by a group of free Black men in New York, NY, it satisfied a very important need in the Black community and society at large. The mandate of the Freedom’s Journal was to counterbalance the character assassinations against Black people printed in the mainstream press and to serve as a public voice against slavery. As time went on, the Black press continued to be both activist and informant for a community that was routinely ignored and maligned by mainstream media.
