Winter 2011 - All Black Radio | Diaspora Radio

About NNRA
Neighborhood Newspaper & Radio Alliance (NNRA) is a network of neighborhood newspapers and
radio programming that reaches millions of Caribbean Americans and African Americans in New York City.
Our publications and radio coverage reach readers and listeners in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and
Manhattan. We also have readers and listeners in Long Island, New Jersey and Westchester.
All of these newspapers and radio programs are community specific and owned by members of these
communities and offer our advertisers and business partners decades of experience in niche marketing.
We deliver geographically specific news featuring writers and celebrity hosts loved and respected by
those communities, as well as news, lifestyle, local and international sports, interviews, religious
programming and music, in short, “edutainment”, thus catering to a diverse readership and
listenership, numbering in the millions.
For advertisers, NNRA offers an opportunity for both market-wide and neighborhood targeted
advertising, allowing businesses to get their messages into the specific areas they want to penetrate.

About Caribbean American Weekly (CAW)
wned and produced by
Caribbean people, Caribbean
American Weekly (CAW) is a
weekly paper whose island flair does
not preclude it from providing useful
information to immigrants from any
and all countries of origin throughout
the New York metropolitan area. A bold
new idea in newspaper publishing,
CAW serves a blend of international
news, sports, interviews, feature articles
and political analysis without heavy
controversy, local news and informative
columns to create a newspaper that
readers read and share with others.
Moreover, each week the paper is
accompanied by one of its four topicspecific
inserts/also
stand-alone
publications: the Immigrant’s Journal,
CARE Journal, CaribVillage, Incarcerated and the newest, The Consumer
Advocate. With these rotating specialinterest sections, the paper is able to
attract an audience beyond those interested in Caribbean-American and island
life, into the wider population of other
immigrant communities, African- and
Hispanic-Americans, and small business owners and entrepreneurs.
CAW’s affiliate paper, Today’s Christian, also provides ties to faith-based
communities and the organizations
based therein.
Additionally, we have multi-cultural
radio programs on various radio stations, including the number one immigration show in the tri-state area. Shows
are aired live and repeated through our
24/7
Internet
&
Community
Radio,(www.diasporaradio.com).

Demographic Highlights
he number of foreign-born residents in New York City had already reached 2.9 million as of 2000, according to the Department of City Planning’s statistics, and later
findings by the U.S. Census Bureau (which are even being challenged as underestimations) recorded an additional increase of 77,000 people (about 1.0%) in the city’s immigrant population between April 2000 and July 2003. The immigrant population grew by
788,000, or 38%, between 1990 and 2000, and went from 28% to 36% of the total city population. Of those immigrants, one-in-five is from the non-Hispanic Caribbean and 13%
come from the Dominican Republic alone.

Demographic Highlights
In 2000, 79% of the foreign-born population in New York
City was between the ages of 18 and 64.
The Genders
For every 100 females who immigrate, there are 90 males.
Homeownership
In 2000, 28% of the city’s foreign-born are homeowners,
accounting for 40% of the city’s owner-occupied housing
units.
Rental
Immigrants account for nearly 50% of market rate rentals
and have thus been crucial in maintaining occupancy of
the city’s housing stock. In some areas up to 70% of recent-occupancy can be tied to immigrant households.
Average Household Income for Foreignborn
Labor force participation rates for females in Jamaican,
Trinidadian, Haitian and Guyanese households were
among the highest in the city as of 2000, with those for
males at the city average or higher. Household incomes
were either close to, or above, the city median ($37,700).
City Immigrant Population Rate
Due to high fertility rates among foreign-born women, immigrants and their U.S.-born offspring together actually
comprise 55% of the city’s total population.
All figures are generated by The Newest New Yorkers 2000 Briefing Booklet produced by the New York City Department of City Planning.

The Immigrant’s Journal
he Immigrant’s Journal Legal & Educational Fund, Inc.
is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 1998, dedicated to the diverse immigrant groups that constitute the
fabric of New York. Our purpose is to educate and empower the
immigrant communities through the development and coordination of various plans of action on important issues that are
crucial to their growth. In summary, our goals are:
T
To educate the members of the community about the contributions that immigrants have made to the United States,
economically and historically.
To inform members of the immigrant community about the
changes in immigration law, the educational system, health
issues, voting rights, financial opportunities, home purchasing
and other basic information.
To legally assist and direct members of the community facing immigration and other legal problems.
For many years, new immigrants to the United States have been
misinformed, embezzled and denied opportunities. This existed
as a result of the lack of credible publications and organizations
geared toward new immigrants. Hence, The Immigrant’s Journal was launched to fill that void. The Journal provides
up-to-date information on laws and regulations affecting the
immigrant communities, as well as news and human interest
stories. Today, the Journal is published in English, Spanish and
French.
In March 2005, the first Annual Think Tank
Conference: Protecting Immigrants, was held at
the Brooklyn Museum, where the Immigrant’s
Journal Legal & Educational Fund, Inc. Membership Program was launched. The event was a
success and the Membership Program currently
boasts over 3,000 members.

CARE Journal
CARE Journal focuses on issues of race and discrimination at the same time that it highlights the achievements
of people of color.
"The common goal of 22 million Afro-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human
being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights
that America has been denying us. We can never get civil
rights in America until our human rights are first restored.
We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are
first recognized as humans."
— "Racism: The Cancer That Is Destroying America,"
in Egyptian Gazette (Aug. 25 1964).

CaribVillage is a lifestyle and community magazine that focuses on entertainment, health, travel, fashion, wedding bells and more, featuring profiles

Today’s Christian Ministries
oday’s Christian Ministries promotes good moral behavior. The sole basis of our beliefs is the Bible,
God's infallible written Word, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that it was
uniquely, verbally and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it was written without error (inerrant) in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement
among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible
alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which hinders the ministry to which God has
called us.
T
Publication
The mission of Today's Christian is to provide a comprehensive Christian publication that facilitates the
empowerment of all Christians in the community. It is our hope that through spiritual, economic and educational growth, readers will become better equipped to serve the Lord, the Church and the wider community.
