Sharpton to NNPA: Corporations ‘owe’ ad dollars to Black newspapers
Category: Business
NEW YORK (NNPA)—Activist Al Sharpton, keynote speaker at a kickoff prayer breakfast at the National Newspaper Publishers Associations 70th Anniversary Convention last week, warned the more than 215 Black publishers to stay in control of the definition of the Black struggle and to not back down from demanding their fair share of advertising dollars.
“We are meeting because the future of Black America is in this room,” he described the pivotal leadership of the Black Press. He frequently referred to NNPA Chairman Danny Bakewell of the Los Angeles Sentinel, a firebrand leader who has been demanding corporate and federal government fair share of ads for NNPA member papers.

The 3 Cs of credit
Category: Business Written by Damon Carr

How will you ensure that your friend pays you back? Will you hold onto something of value from your friend to ensure that your loan is paid? If your friend fell on hard times and had difficulty repaying you, how would you respond? If your friend simply neglected to pay you back, do you think it would put a strain on your friendship? Most of us would have to really think it over before we commit to lending a personal friend that type of money.
