It’s hard to believe, but the 20th anniversary of 9/11 is here. It was a horrific day, so on the anniversary, it’s more about remembering and reflecting than anything else.

DETROIT – For decades, WGPR-TV in Detroit provided a distinct perspective as the first Black-owned TV station in the country. It was a movement spearheaded by Karen Hudson Samuels, who worked as the station’s news director for years. He sold several properties to raise enough money, with which he launched the TV station in 1975. “My mom said to call the station and talk to Karen Hudson or Joe Spencer,” James Jackson said. WGPR aired its last TV show in 1995, offering a distinctly Black perspective for three decades.

ANN ARBOR – MLive Media Group announced on Wednesday that it will be implementing temporary pay cuts through the end of the year due to a significant loss of advertising revenue during the COVID-19 outbreak. In June, the company will reexamine if it will need to require employees to take an additional unpaid week off. Similar to other local news outlets across the country, MLive Media Group said it has suffered a steep decline in revenue during the pandemic. Formed in 2012, MLive Media Group owns MLive.com and operates newspapers in Ann Arbor, Bay City, Flint, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Muskegon and Saginaw. In response to the temporary measures, MLive launched a subscription program last week for its online readers to support its reporting.
