National Correspondent
PoliticallyBlack.com
(Online Media industry)
June 1999 — September 2000 (1 year 4 months)
I was national correspondent for one of the first online news outlets. In a 2000 Freedom Forum survey, I was the online journalist most frequently mentioned by African American editors, reporters, journalists and columnists. It was noted that my “columns were almost unique in taking advantage of hyperlinking, embedded with links to historical primary sources.”
