BTR News: What Does The Collapse of Black News Channel Mean For Black Folks?

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 am a U.S. Army vet, journalist, and media non-profit President, and livid after being issued a 3-day Facebook ban for sharing a photo that was previously shared on Facebook in February 2022 of members of the Ukrainian armed forces which belong to their infamous Azov battalion and regiments holding a Ukrainian Flag with emblems.
