Jon Jeter is a former Washington Post bureau chief for southern Africa, an author, columnist and an independent journalist creating content on the Patreon platform and jonjeter.com.

I asked Jon to join me for a discussion on the collapse of the Black News Channel and if it matters as much as some people think in terms of the African Diaspora controlling their own stories without oversight from the corporate system. We spoke about the collapse of an outlet that targeted African Americans but was not necessarily giving authentic Black perspectives.
