...black women haven’t been present and active the entire time. Contrary to widely held opinion, black women have made huge contributions to American history that go well beyond simply giving birth to and supporting black men. Women such as Ida B. Wells, Ella Baker, and Shirley Chisholm (whom I’m ashamed to admit that I myself never heard of until I came to college) each made complex contributions to the social and political history of the United States.

While it's not clear to what extent free papers are squeezing paid-for titles' revenue, "It's definitely the case that free newspapers are generating significant ad revenues, some of which are unique to them," says Jim Chisholm, strategy adviser to the wan. Though newspapers' share of the global ad spend is sliding, total ad revenues for newspapers are growing. According to Nielsen Media Research, advertising spending in Britain's Metro climbed 9.2% in 2004, compared to 3.9% across the U.K.'s daily newspaper market. So what...
