SEATTLE—Journalists of color represented only 13.87 percent of the staff in America's daily newsrooms in 2005, according to the American Society of Newspaper Editors' 29th annual newsroom census, released recently.

That percentage represented a nearly invisible increase from last year's census, which identified 13.42 percent of daily journalists as belonging to racial and ethnic minority groups.

About one-quarter of U.S. daily newspapers do not employ a single minority journalist. This year, 377 newspapers reported no minority newsroom employees.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—A new Web site is available that connects African American businesses with consumers.
Called the "African American Connection," the Web site includes African American-owned businesses, employees and non-African American-owned businesses that want to serve the African American community.

Charles Bowlds, founder and CEO of Web site, called it a "self-reliant action born of both need and necessity."
