History
According to their about page “Your Black World is the top black news site in America.” (It isn’t) They further explain that “Your Black World was created to allow a diverse set of black voices to reveal themselves. There is no shame in being black, whether you are into reading the hottest news, receiving the latest commentary from the top black writers, or seeking sports, finance, advice, politics or celebrity gossip.”
Funded by / Ownership
The website does not list an owner or really any names associated with the website, though the most recent posts are done by Ryan Velez for what it is worth. The website appears to be funded by online advertising and the sale of merchandise.
Analysis / Bias
In review, the content of Your Black World centers around African American news. There is strong use of loaded language such as this: D.L. Hughley Tears Trump and His Administration into Pieces for Their Call for ‘Civility’. This article, like most on the site is not original and comes from other left leaning sources such as Atlanta Black Star and The Grio. In general, story selection almost always favors the left.
A factual search reveals Your Black World has not failed a fact check.
Overall, we rate Your Black World Left Biased and Mixed for factual reporting based on lack of ownership info, though reasonably sourced. (D. Van Zandt 9/28/2018)
