First line that comes to mind…..

@lindseydayy on the importance of #BlackOwnedMedia "If we're not the ones documenting our stories; it will always be told through someone-else's bullshit lens and through lies."

@Chick_Scott Yep

@CRWNMAG As a head media buyer now, and former sales manager for a news publisher, I’d love to discuss further. DM’s open?

The advertising industry spends over $300 billion each year with media publishers. #BlackOwnedMedia companies compete for a fraction of 1% of that spend. 🧵

Not programs, promises or studies, just — money. Companies like @ProcterGamble and executives like Marc S. Pritchard have publicly acknowledged these racist practices in #advertising and have yet to move the needle for #blackownedmedia companies.

Advertisers like @ProcterGamble @GM @Loreal @PepsiCo @Amazon and agencies like @WPP @Omnicom @PublicisGroupe @InterpublicIPG could change these racist dynamics in #advertising today by making multi-year, 7-10-figure investments in media buys with #BlackOwnedMedia companies.
