NYC BLACK MEDIA 2020
What Will the City’s proposed media initiative mean to Black Media!
The city recently announced 8 initiatives to Strengthen NY's media industry, What if any effect will this have on Black media and how can today’s black media professional
Fostering and Promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation
NYC Media Lab: NYC Media Lab, a research center for media companies and universities, will create a collaborative environment for innovation by connecting companies looking to advance new media technologies with academic institutions undertaking related research. New York City is home to 10,000 media companies and more than 100 universities and colleges, many of which independently pursue media-related research. Like similar initiatives at Stanford University and MIT, NYC Media Lab will maintain a database of projects to facilitate the interaction between academic and other nonprofit researchers and corporate partners, serve as a physical hub for networking events, and provide space for industry lectures and workshops. NYCEDC will release a Request for Proposals (RFP) in July to select partners to develop the lab and create a framework for the services it will offer. It is expected to be in operation by January 2010. Interested parties should email: MediaRFPs@nycedc.com.
“New York City remains a global center for knowledge and culture, media and communications precisely because creative people thrive by living and working together in a vibrant city,” said Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger. “Our research universities continue to attract great minds and generate new intellectual capital in New York by bringing together scholars and practitioners in diverse fields – from journalism and business to engineering and computer science – whose collective innovations and ideas shape our media future. We are delighted to support the Mayor’s newest initiative to encourage this vital industry.”
“Providing media and tech entrepreneurs and the academic and not-for-profit communities with access to companies looking to conduct innovative research, will ensure that New York City maintains its role as a leader in the global media and technology industries. Creating a Media Lab will enable the City’s businesses to capture the growth in the digital and new media marketplaces,” said WPP’s Chief Executive Sir Martin Sorrell.
Media Tech Bond Program: NYCEDC has created the Media Tech Bond Program to help companies purchase new manufacturing, research or production facilities, retrofit existing building to accommodate hi-tech servers, or make large IT purchases. The tax-exempt bond program was made possible by a recent change in Federal law that now allows tax-exempt financing for facilities that are used in the creation or production of intangible property, including patents, copyrights, formulas, processes, designs and other similar items. Media Tech Bonds may be utilized to finance projects in the range of $1 million to $10 million. Interested companies should contact: nyccrc@nycedc.com.
“Some of the most interesting things happening in media today – and the people who do them – are right here in New York City,” said Take-Two Interactive Software Chairman Strauss Zelnick. “This initiative will encourage and amplify that trend.”
Media and Tech Fellowship: To increase opportunities for successful start-up companies in new media and encourage innovation in emerging sub-sectors, NYCEDC has established the Media and Tech Fellowship to be awarded to approximately 20 “rising star” media and technology entrepreneurs on an annual basis. Fellows will be provided with training, mentoring, networking opportunities with venture capital firms, and support services such as legal aid. Selection will be based on several criteria, including: demonstrated professional experience with a record of sustained business success and innovation; a business plan or early-stage start-up with the potential for significant New York City-based job creation; personal commitment to a continued investment in the culture and economic development of New York City; and an indication that the Fellowship will increase the entrepreneur’s probability of success. NYCEDC will release an RFP this week to identify a manager for the program to launch by October 2009. Parties interested in receiving the RFP should e-mail: MediaRFPs@nycedc.com.
“As an entrepreneur who helped work to build blip.tv from the ground-up, I believe that New York City’s entrepreneurial culture will be vital to the City’s competitiveness in the future. I applaud NYCEDC and the City for creating a fellowship program that offers entrepreneurs access, information, and the support services necessary to launch a successful business,” said Dina Kaplan, Co-founder of blip.tv.
NYC Start-up Procurement Initiative: The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications will encourage local start-ups and established firms to team up on bidding for City IT contracts, and promote other City contracting opportunities for start-ups. The Department of Small Business Services will administer a “Prepare for Success” program which is a package of services to assist and encourage start-ups companies to expand through government contracting. City agencies will also host Gov2.0 Tech Forums – regular briefings on topics including City procurement and evolving IT processes. Special sessions will be organized for large contractors looking to interact with small technology companies that could act as subcontractors on City projects, providing an opportunity for both parties to network and foster future partnerships. The first Gov2.0 Tech Forum – with the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services, the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, the Department of Small Business Services and private sector companies including Google and IBM – will take place July 9, 2009 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Digital Sandbox at 55 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan. Interested companies should RSVP to: NYCGov2.0Tech@nycedc.com.
“By educating small tech firms about doing business with the City, and encouraging private-sector partnerships when seeking public contracts, we’ll help build relationships to yield new and better ideas for delivering quality, cost-effective IT services to New Yorkers – ever-important in these challenging fiscal times,” said DoITT Commissioner Cosgrave.
“I applaud the City’s efforts to engage the private sector, start-ups and small media businesses as it works to address the challenges facing the media industry today,” said Draper Fisher Jurvetson Gotham Ventures Managing Partner Danny Schultz. “By providing a resource such as the Gov2.0 Tech Forum, these groups will be able to participate in ongoing conversations that foster improved relationships and facilitate innovative idea exchanges.”
NYC BigApps Competition: Last month, Mayor Bloomberg announced the launch of NYC BigApps, an annual software competition for individuals or companies with operations in New York City to develop functional digital applications that utilize City data. Start-up and venture capital companies participating in MediaNYC 2020 expressed significant interest in utilizing City data to create new digital applications, and NYC BigApps will serve to stimulate innovation in the technology information and business media sub-sectors and attract and support developer talent in the City and surrounding communities. Winners will be selected in early 2010. NYCEDC released a Request for Expressions of Interest in June to garner interest among developers and the public regarding data content and a RFP for a competition partner on July 1.
“By consolidating City data and making it more accessible, and by engaging the City’s media and technology industry, the NYC Big Apps Competition will foster the creation of new apps and new business models to help New Yorkers better navigate the City and inspire our entrepreneurs, start-ups and high-tech business community to create new consumer-friendly applications,” said FirstMark Capital Managing Director Amish Jani.
Maintaining New York City’s Competitiveness By Attracting and Training Top Talent
Media Freelancer Hive@55: The lack of affordable workspace and the prohibitive cost of specialized equipment for emerging sub-sectors such as gaming and social networking can impede the growth and sustainability of start-ups and small businesses in the sector. To address these issues, the City is partnering with the Downtown Alliance to launch a center for media freelancers at 55 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan. The Alliance will lease and fit out a 5,000-square-foot space to suit the needs of media professionals and others who need quality workspace on a daily or short term basis and access to services such as contract editing, news feeds, and conference space. NYCEDC is providing a $100,000 grant to assist with start-up costs. The “Hive@55” will provide workspace for 50 freelancers at a time, and will provide workspace and services for as many as 1,850 part-time and drop-in workers per year.
“Mayor Bloomberg understands well how to create companies and jobs. We at the Downtown Alliance are very pleased that his administration is supporting our ‘Hive@55’ co-working space in Lower Manhattan,” said Alliance for Downtown New York Chairman Robert R. Douglass. “Lower Manhattan’s diversified economy and growing residential population consists of many up-and-coming companies, service providers and entrepreneurs. ‘Hive@55’ will be a center for business incubation, a place where new companies and jobs will be created and a new chapter in New York City’s economic growth and sustainability will be written.”
“New York City has a wealth of independent media and tech talent that will benefit from access to resources that otherwise may have been prohibitively expensive or inaccessible,” said Huffington Post Chief Executive Officer Eric Hippeau. “By creating new ‘freelancer hives’ targeted to specific sub-sectors within the industry, the City has created an environment where that community will have an opportunity to thrive, in spite of the difficult economic climate.”
JumpStart New Media: To ensure that traditional media professionals have the skills necessary to succeed in a new media marketplace, the City will launch JumpStart New Media, a training program to assist displaced or entrepreneurial junior to mid-level employees in exploring opportunities in new and digital media. The program, to be launched in September, will also provide the City’s media firms and entrepreneurs a pre-screened pool of high-quality candidates. JumpStart New Media will consist of a training “boot camp,” after which the first class of 50 participants will be offered a 10-week unpaid apprenticeship with a new media company and the potential of converting to full-time employment, building on Mayor Bloomberg’s successful JumpStart NYC program designed for workers laid off from the financial services sector. NYCEDC will release an RFP this week to identify an operator for the program.
“Making sure that our talented workforce has the tools necessary to keep pace with new media technology is one of the key challenges that traditional media outlets face,” said Hearst Magazines President Cathie Black. “The City is taking an important step in addressing those needs through programs like JumpStart New Media, to retrain workers to provide them with new skills necessary to succeed in today’s marketplace.”
Attract the Next Generation of Successful Companies to New York City
International and Domestic Recruitment: New York City is home to 29 multi-billion dollar media companies, more than any other city in the nation. To keep it competitive within the global marketplace, and to increase representation among emerging international and domestic media players, the City, along with executives from New York City-based media enterprises, is embarking on a recruitment campaign in emerging markets across Asia and the Middle East, and in Silicon Valley and the greater Boston area.
“New York City’s talented workforce, the diversity and concentration of its media businesses, and proximity to its consumers are what attracted Time Warner to locate here,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Time Warner Jeff Bewkes. “We support the Mayor's efforts to recruit more international companies to locate here.”
In order to facilitate interaction among traditional and new media professionals, and to engage the industry in discussions about issues ranging from content and distribution to the shifting media landscape, NYCEDC has created MediaNYC2020.com. Topics will be updated on a weekly basis and may include discussions on how consumers will search for and discover content; which payment models will support the industry and in what mix; will open or closed networks win out and in what cases; and how content consumption will be reallocated across blockbuster, professional mid- and long-tail, and user generated content. The MediaNYC2020.com forum can be accessed at: www.medianyc2020.com.
The City’s Five Borough Economic Opportunity Plan is a comprehensive strategy to bring New York City through the current economic downturn as fast as possible. It focuses on three major areas: creating jobs for New Yorkers today, implementing a long-term vision for growing the city’s economy, and building affordable, attractive neighborhoods in every borough. Taken together, the initiatives that the City has launched to achieve these goals will generate thousands of jobs and put New York City on a path to economic recovery and growth.

20th Annual Tribute to Our Ancestors of the Middle Passage, Calling for 2,000 Drummers and Percussionists
By Donna Lamb
On Sat., June 13, from 12 noon to sunset, the 20th Annual Tribute to Our Ancestors of the Middle Passage will be held on the boardwalk at West 16th Street (Ancestors Circle) in Coney Island, Brooklyn, the site where some of the earliest slave ships once docked. Sponsored by Akeem Productions and the People of the Sun Middle Passage Collective in conjunction with Medgar Evers College Student Government Association, this annual tribute is in remembrance of the tens of millions of Africans who, after being kidnapped from their homeland, died during the Middle Passage - the voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean, and North and South America.
The organizers of this 20th annual Tribute to Our Ancestors see it as an historic moment in the Collective's history. "We want to make this momentous celebration special," said Tony Akeem. "We hope to welcome an enormous turnout for this extraordinary day. We are looking for the participation of as many drummers and other percussionists as possible so we can really do justice to our ancestors."
The tribute began twenty years ago as a storytelling event conducted by the late Dr. Mary Umolu, a noted African storyteller born in Virginia of Southern and Jamaican heritage who became chair of the Department of Mass Communication, Creative & Performing Arts & Speech at Medgar Evers College. The Tribute's mission, she always said, was to educate people about what happened during the Middle Passage, to give them a fuller understanding of what their ancestors endured.
Some of the other people who were also part of the initial committee were Zala Smith, Phyliss Jackson, Hapte Selassie, Richard Greene, Safia Bandele, Tony Akeem and Andrea McLaughlin. As they, too, state, the Tribute to Our Ancestors is not religious or political, and over the years people of all religions, traditions and political persuasions continue to be a part of the annual observance. The program is one of enlightenment, enrichment and love.
The program will start precisely at noon, rain or shine, in coordination with other gatherings around the world carrying out this same rite at exactly the same time. It will begin with a libation ceremony by New Khemet Society, followed by a drum invocation led by Guyanese Master drummer Menes De Griot. As he explained, he will be playing the ancestors' Ngomas, made for him in South Africa by the Venda people. These drums are played only three times a year, and the trinity drum - so named because it can be played on all three sides - is the only one in the world.
This year special drum tributes will be made to Dr. Mary Umolu, Dr Ivan Van Sertima, Bernie Mac, Cheryl Byron, John Hope Franklin, Isaac Hayes, Monica Chopperfield (Lady Guymine), and all other recent ancestors.
Some of the many singers, drummers, dancers, spoken word artists and other cultural artists schedule to perform are Kowteff, Chris Slaughter, Osagyefo, Shanto, Ngomo, MEC Drama Club, The Lola Lewis Creative & Performing Arts Studio, Sunu Thoissane & Orin Ayo Dance & Drum Ensemble, Something Positive, Abaddon & New Vibrations, 5B Plus, Congo Square Drummers, Utopia Pan Soul, Harmonica Man, Junior Culture, Gold Teeth Lance, Afari & Rock of Ages.
The event will culminate at sundown with the final Ancestral Offering, during which the Ancestral Drummers will lead participants to the water's edge where each person will place flowers into the Atlantic Ocean, the largest African burial ground in the world.
Attendees are asked to wear white or African attire and bring flowers to place in the ocean. If you do not have a drum, bring a shekere, whistle, cowbell,or shac shac.
For more info contact Akeem at (718) 270-4902 or (718) 659-4999 or email him at Akeem827@yahoo.com. Transportation: D, F, N or Q train to the last stop, Coney Island/Stillwell Avenue, or B36, B64, B68 or B82 bus to Stillwell Avenue/Surf Avenue (Coney Island Train Station).

The Caribbean Literary & Cultural Center in Collaboration with Richie Richardson and CARIB, Presents WITHOUT FACES.
Opening reception on Saturday, June 6th from 2 to 5pm…closing celebration Saturday, June 20th. The keynote speaker will be Council member Kendall Stewart, chairman of the immigration council, New York City Council.
Without Faces is a collective exhibition, featuring artists of diverse heritage. The curator is Richie Richardson, the exhibit is now annualized and this is the third in a series, which coincides with the June celebration of National Caribbean American Heritage Month.
The exhibition brings together a group of eighteen talented artists. And all of the artists were asked to contribute works; they felt resonated with the theme “Without Faces.”
The story of immigration is universal; often marginalized and blamed for societies ills, they are the last to be praised or recognized for their work ethic, strong family ties and enterprise. Many of the works are vivid and personal accounts and observations that make a powerful visual commentary about the facelessness of the immigrant experience.
From Africa to Latin America from Europe the Caribbean and the United States, these are the artists who come together to give face to the faceless: Christopher Webster, Donna Dove, Elena Marrero, Elliot Bassman, Emmanuel Toribio, Herb Bennett, Ibrahima Diallo, James Mingo, Jennifer Booth, Laura West, Lincoln Perry, Lynn Bell, Matuschka, Omowale Morgan, Rachel Krause, Richie Richardson, Shaneika Marson, Sylvia Maier.
Everyone is invited to this eclectic celebration of love, life creativity and good energy. The artist is the social conscience of society and we all come together in solidarity, to bring attention to this very human and universal story. A story steeped in success, overcoming challenges and the pioneering spirit. Special thanks to Donna Fleming, coordinator of CLCC, Hollis Kam of CARIB, Lenny Mendez, Velda Johnson, Sharon Cundy & Marlene Cochrane.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why create AtogunaRed …
These are the people in My neighborhood… or at least on my email list.
Why have a great network if all you do is keep it to yourself? How can I help?them get leads! How can I create a better way to organize my network? In The business and product development workshops I conduct, it is the one question that is guaranteed to stop an entrepreneur in their tracks. We are thought just “to do”, just to follow, never question, “Don’t ask me why!”
Why have great networks if all you do is keep it to yourself? How can I share How can I create a better way to organize my network. Sign up, upload and tag your media, fill out your profile and join or request groups. Checkout other profiles and get to know them.
I get tons of email newsletters, or post on social networks, expecting me to forward them. When I have been trying to find information it is always locked behind some gateway, with someone deciding who should have access and to what extent. “OPEN AND FREE” is a growing movement in technology. I expect in the next few months to encourage my list to move online.
