In 2018 a report by the Government Accountability Office revealed federal agencies spend very little advertising dollars with minority-owned businesses.
The report found that from 2013 – 2018, federal government agencies spent a total of $5 billion dollars in advertising, but only spent $327 million dollars on minority owned businesses.
D.C. Democratic Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton said she would work with minority publishers to press her colleagues in Congress “to demand greater spending on minority-owned outlets…to reach minority audiences that most traditional outlets do not.”
Dr. Benjamin Chavis, President & CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association spoke with Roland Martin about how Black media has been frozen out of advertising dollars and prohibited from growing.
