2007 A Banner Year For Black Bloggers

NPR: Best of 'News & Notes' 2007 and Black (African-American) Bloggers

The Best of 'News & Notes' 2007



Even with my controversial comments about black women and interracial marriages, NPR has placed Bloggers' Roundtable: The 'Browning' of America as one of "The Standout Interviews & Reporting from the Year Gone By."

It has been a remarkable year for those of us in the afrosphere. The number of blogs included in the Black Blog Rankings (BBR) grew from 75 to over 600 in the course of a few months. We saw the creation of both the Afrosphere Bloggers Association and The AfroSpear.

Mainstream
media become much more aware of our presence as evidenced by events in
Jena LA, Paris TX and Atlanta GA. Many Black bloggers are regularly
featured on weekly National Public Radio broadcasts. Heck, a Black blogger was recognized as one of the 25-most influential African Americans in the country by Essence magazine.
