Summary "Negro Journalism: An Essay on the History and Present Conditions of the Negro…" by George W. Gore, Jr. is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This book serves as an exploration and outline of the evolution of the Negro press in America, addressing its development from its inception in the early 19th century to its contemporary state in the 1920s. It aims to provide an understanding of the challenges, achievements, and future prospects of Negro journalism, emphasizing the vital role it plays within the African American community. The text chronicles the history of Negro newspapers, starting with the first publication, "Freedom’s Journal," in 1827, and following key developments through various historical periods, including the abolitionist press and the Reconstruction period. Gore highlights significant publications and their editors, such as Frederick Douglass's "North Star," and discusses issues like circulation, editorial policies, and the transition into modern journalism practices. The essay examines the impact of education on journalism in the Negro community and forecasts the future growth of Negro journalism, suggesting that advancements will depend on the commitment and resourcefulness of its practitioners.
