Part 1 of a 4-part series on black leaders in the media profession. Guests Dexter Eure, Sr., director of community relations at the Boston Globe; and Luix Overbea, staff writer at the Christian Science Monitor, discuss the waning influence of Boston's black press and the need for more black media outlets; the need for better representation of the black community in mainstream newspaper coverage, efforts by the Boston Globe and Christian Science Monitor to diversify their coverage, and the need to educate the black community about the availability of non-journalism jobs at large mainstream newspapers. Black Perspectives is a public affairs talk show featuring in depth conversations about issues of interest to the African American community.
