Corey Ealons, Director of African American media outreach at the White House press office, described the effort as “a synopsis of the things that go on in black America. Most of the information is coming from the week before. It’s a summary of the information that’s coming out of the administration that relates to African Americans.”

All of the information presented is available at the White House website or at relevant agency websites. Not all of the news involves black politics or black Cabinet officials. “Something like Susan Rice speaking at Howard, that’s obviously an African American issue,” said Ealons. “But African American businesses have been thinking about how to get more involved with the Recovery Act, and there’s information there that helps them plug in.” The newsletter may spotlight Obama’s trip to New Orleans tomorrow.
