The Black Press Research Collective (BPRC) is dedicated to generating print and digital scholarship on the Black Press. We are primarily interested in the Black periodical press, although we engage work that embraces a more capacious definition of the Black Press that includes radio and broadcast journalism. The BPRC is dedicated to training new generations of Black Press scholars, developing Black Press studies as a discipline, and connecting African Diasporic communities to historical and contemporary Black periodicals.
