The Black Voice Foundation for Media, History, & the Arts realizes the ever-changing face of online news and trends in newspaper publishing requires a strong response, particularly for ethnic media given the size of distribution and circulation territories. On May 14, the foundation launched California Black Media Online (CBM), a news portal on the web that displays several of the top news articles from all Black-owned newspapers throughout the state. The current CBM web site, sponsored by Southern California Edison, is in its first phase and will continue to grow. CBM has more newspaper publications and radio stations combined than any other state, which underscores the significance of this endeavor. CBM Online is just the first phase of a larger “new media” initiative for California’s Black Media outlets. Next week, the organization will host its annual spring Summit and Newsmaker Reception on Thursday, May 21, 2009 in Sacramento. For the first time, CBM will host a forum in conjunction with the Research & Policy Institute of California focusing on the "Green Economy and the African American Community." The forum will be moderated by RPIC Chairman Tommy Ross with special guest panelists Leonard E. Robinson, Federal Liaison of the California Environmental Protection Agency, V. John White, Executive Director of the Center for Energy Efficiency & Renewable Technologies, Barry Sedlik, Chair of the California Green Jobs Council, and Craig Keys, Executive Director of the Green Valley Initiative. Special recognition will be given to Karen Bass, Speaker of the Assembly. CBM’s 2009 Newsmakers Reception will honor a number of key "newsmakers" including Barbara Lee, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Sandre Swanson, Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, Mayor Kevin Johnson, City of Sacramento, Dr. William "Bill" Lee, Publisher of the Sacramento Observer, and Virniecia Davis, President of the California Black School Board Members Association.
