Hyperlocal Blogging is the Rage; So, Why Aren't Black Bloggers Cashing In?
Hyperlocal bloggers, by conventional wisdom, should be rolling in the dough by now.
After all, all signs point to victory for them. We know that the print industry is losing advertising revenue to the digital space, that is, online and mobile technology ventures. We know that the current trend in advertising is hyperlocal marketing, where big name advertisers can make a direct impact on a very specific population, right down to the zip code. And we know that big brands want to reach the African American and multicultural markets, to better reflect a more diverse society.
So, why aren't the hyperlocal black bloggers seeing more of those advertising dollars?
Even in the Promised Land of new media, there's still an old-school disconnect between the mighty advertising dollar and the active black media outlet.
Shawn P. Williams, formerly a pharmaceutical salesman, founded Dallas South in 2006, one of the more successful hyperlocal news sites around. Williams didn't leave his day job to focus on the news site. "My job left me," he quipped. "When I started Dallas South News in 2006, it was to focus on the Southern Dallas community, which is about 50 percent Latino and 35 percent African American. With Jena 6, Dallas South became more of a national blog, so I thought about what to do, and I was introduced to the hyperlocal [model]."
Williams explained during the 2011 Blogging While Brown Convention that he adopted the nonprofit business model for his site, has a board of directors and his mom does the administrative work and Twitter updates.
"Nonprofit does not mean free. It's a business model similar to the public radio or public television model. We look at three primary ways to earn revenue: individual donations. Our goal is to have donors to give between $10 and $100 per month; advertising has been a good source of revenue. A one month ad [costs] $199 to $399, according to where the ad is placed on the site; and philanthropic support. Right now, [we receive about] $6,000 in-kind donations, $7,000 in individual donations, $4,500 in advertising, $1,600 in other income, accounts receivable $3,100. You need to have various revenue streams."
Williams says advertising picked up in March for the site, but it's still difficult to attract new dollars.
"Advertisers don't understand online yet. Do I go to social media? Do I go to a specific website? Do I go mobile? They don't understand how African Americans are utilizing this technology or these websites. So, there's this digital divide that everybody is talking about, but African Americans are, specifically, overrepresented in the mobile market. There's an opportunity there."
Advertisers routinely miss the opportunity to engage African American consumers on new media , Williams adds. "A lot of African Americans utilize their phones for news. So, advertisers, in a lot of cases, don't understand this data or believe the data. So, when you're selling to them, you have to sell two or three times."
The elephant in the room is race, and that can be a factor with the web property and with the person selling the ads, Williams explains.
"If the salesperson who is selling is African American, it's a factor. You have to figure out what that factor is, but it is a factor," he tells rolling out.
"For instance, if you see two people go in for a mortgage with the same credentials and one is white and one is black, the person who is black is less likely to get that. I see the same thing in sales. We have the same concept as other people, and we can go in with all the same credentials or even better, but people don't understand what we're doing as much. And they just don't understand because of the face that's in front."
Hyperlocal blogger Shawn P. Williams refers to one of the more successful, white-owned hyperlocal sites and points to its long list of local businesses that advertise on that site. "Because of the lack of small businesses in the African American community, that makes it harder. That's another challenge."
Hyperlocal news sites, in yet a new twist, are facing stiff competition from traditional news outlets, according to Ad Age. –zondra hughes

The article was interesting enough for me to click through to, but, it disappointed in giving in-depth information and any follow-up information to Mr. Williams other than a link to his blog. Good topic, buy, left more to be desired.
Add to the conversation Fortunate if you want more.
post is accurate, brief, clear, tenets of journalism 101, dude. A longer conversation may be nice in print.

Recruitment and Employment
In order to comply with our contractual, statutory, and management obligations and responsibilities, we process personal data, including 'sensitive' personal data, from job applicants and employees.
Such data can include, but isn't limited to, information relating to health, racial or ethnic origin, and criminal convictions. In certain circumstances, we may process personal data or sensitive personal data, without explicit consent. Further information on what data is collected and why it's processed is given below.
Contractual Responsibilities
Our contractual responsibilities include those arising from the contract of employment. The data processed to meet contractual responsibilities includes, but is not limited to, data relating to: payroll, bank account, postal address, sick pay; leave, maternity pay, pension and emergency contacts.
Statutory Responsibilities
Our statutory responsibilities are those imposed through law on the organisation as an employer. The data processed to meet statutory responsibilities includes, but is not limited to, data relating to: tax, national insurance, statutory sick pay, statutory maternity pay, family leave, work permits, equal opportunities monitoring.
Management Responsibilities
Our management responsibilities are those necessary for the organisational functioning of the organisation. The data processed to meet management responsibilities includes, but is not limited to, data relating to: recruitment and employment, training and development, absence, disciplinary matters, email address and telephone number.
Sensitive Personal Data
The GDPR defines 'sensitive personal data' as information about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life, and criminal allegations, proceedings or convictions.
The service we offer does not usually require that we collect, store or handle any sensitive personal data. The only sensitive data we may hold refers to employees of EEUK Ltd with regard to HR issues (e.g. health issues, ethnicity) to take care of staff welfare and monitor Equal Opportunities, for example. This information is only ever analysed at an aggregate level.
In certain limited circumstances, we may legally collect and process sensitive personal data without requiring the explicit consent of an employee.
(a) We will process data about an employee's health where it is necessary, for example, to record absence from work due to sickness, to pay statutory sick pay, to make appropriate referrals to the Occupational Health Service, and to make any necessary arrangements or adjustments to the workplace in the case of disability. This processing will not normally happen without the employee's knowledge and, where necessary, consent.
(b) We will process data about, but not limited to, an employee's racial and ethnic origin, their sexual orientation or their religious beliefs only where they have volunteered such data and only for the purpose of monitoring and upholding our equal opportunities policies and related provisions.
(c) Data about an employee's criminal convictions will be held as necessary.
Do We Share or Disclose Your Personal Information?
We do not share or disclose any of your personal information without your consent, other than for the purposes specified in this notice or where there is a legal requirement.

In order to carry out our contractual and management responsibilities, we may, from time to time, need to share an employee's personal data with one or more third party supplier.
To meet the employment contract, we are required to transfer an employee's personal data to third parties, for example, to pension providers and HM Revenue & Customs.
In order to fulfil our statutory responsibilities, we're required to give some of an employee's personal data to government departments or agencies e.g. provision of salary and tax data to HM Revenue & Customs.

The Wall Street Journal today announced a newsroom reorganization designed to align the publication with mobile-first goals. The reorganization includes a promotion for deputy editor in chief Matt Murray, who has been named executive editor.
It also creates a number of new senior-lever positions including chief news editor, news planning editor, analytics and audience editor and an editor for digital content strategy. Many of the roles are designed with the idea of pushing the publication into the digital age, and are a response to parent company Dow Jones' WSJ2020 review, which is exploring both cost-cutting and innovation opportunities for the publication.
"Our news operations have been somewhat like an elegant and rather gorgeous stately home, whose owners have steadily augmented and renovated, rewiring every now and then, adding a new plumbing system, repainting, refurbishing," wrote editor in chief Gerard Baker in a memo to staff. "But eventually it's time to tear down the old structure and build a new one."
As for whether job cuts were implied in the reorg plans, here is how Journal reporter Lukas I. Alpert laid out the situation:
In a memo to staff, Mr. Baker said the "far-reaching reorganization" wasn't a "job-cutting exercise" and that the newsroom's head count of about 1,300 positions would remain "roughly stable."
As resources dramatically shift toward digital and mobile initiatives, some existing roles could be eliminated, forcing some people to find other positions within the company.
The publication did cut jobs earlier this year in its Asia and Europe bureaus. Incidentally, Alpert reports that the Journal will be reducing print operations there.
This announcement comes on the heels of an announcement earlier this week focused on a different kind of hiring issue–addressing the publication's diversity and gender imbalance, especially in newsroom leadership roles, as well as the gender pay gap.
"Based on work already underway and the efforts of our new diversity and inclusion expert, I will also set a new, company-wide target of executive-level women for every Dow Jones department. As things stand, I will set this target at 40% initially. This will be the first of a number of diversity goals I will identify," wrote Dow Jones CEO William Lewis in a memo to staff. The reorg is a good opportunity to work toward those goals.
