➡️ One-on-one with mayoral candidate Daniella Levine Cava
Janey Tate of Hy-Lo News takes over The New Tropic every other Monday to share what’s popping in Miami-Dade’s Black communities.
🍵 What Janey and Hy-Lo News are talking about
What Miami news story are you following right now?
I’m always following what’s on Hy-Lo News, my hyper-local online news site dedicated to urban millennials in South Florida. One story features Black Men Build (BMB), an organization that’s asking for 1,500 Black men to help protect people at the polls this election season.
What Miami news story do people need to be paying more attention to?
Miami’s only historically Black university, Florida Memorial University, is having issues fighting the coronavirus on its campus. Hy-Lo News reported on some of the drama involving their new head football coach, but according to the Miami Times, the school has fired its athletic director and closed the campus due to a spike in COVID-19 cases.
What’s your favorite project you’re working on right now?
Right now I’m assembling an election season series with interviews and columns about the importance of this election to the Black community and millennials. I recently spoke with Miami-Dade mayoral candidate Daniella Levine Cava; we discussed how her proposed policies would stand to benefit both demographics. Plus, we got personal to learn what she’s watching, what’s on her playlist, and hear about her favorite soul food restaurant in Miami.
What’s your favorite piece you wrote this week?
I’m proud of the piece I wrote detailing my views on how the Miami Herald has covered Miami Gardens over the years. In response to the news outlet’s recent profile of the predominantly Black city, I broke down how the Herald has not always been balanced in its coverage of Miami Gardens. I also discuss why it’s important for mainstream media to not only report the negative happenings in a city and how their lack of balanced coverage feeds into systematic racism.
