It looks like Microsoft and Apple will go at it again in the battle of the media players wars that may heat up after Zune comes to market. Zune has a secret weapon that no one is talking about. Ed Gordon is no longer the host of NPR’s News & Notes which is NPR’s African American News show and podcast. Congratulations to Farai Chideya, the new host of News & Notes. This slot was once held by Tavis Smiley’s show, but he left after conflicts with NPR, and it looks like Ed has left for similar reasons. Mr. Gordon has a new tv show with Black Enterprise Magazine called “Our World” premiering on Sept. 30. Why can’t African American journalist get the respect they deserve in the media game? They are still no African Americans appearing in the Sunday Morning talk shows.
