Title: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF AFRO-AMERICAN PERIODICALS, 1969-1979, WITH A HOLDING LIST OF TRADITIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Abstract: A descriptive study was made of 24 Black-oriented periodicals which originated between 1969 and 1979. The basic purpose of the study was to highlight the purposes, contributions, trends and problems of Black-oriented serials. Each serial was profiled.
The primary data collection technique used a modified form of content analysis of the sample of periodicals. To further gather data, questionnaires were disseminated to the publishers or editors of the periodicals. The questionnaires were followed by interviews.
The data collected indicated that the 24 periodicals had been established to serve as instruments to provide community-wide communication, to promote racial identification and consciousness, to promote racial acceptance and to refute racial misconceptions. The periodicals were designed to meet the cultural, intellectual, psychological and social aspirations of Afro-Americans.
