Daily News | Four takeaways from Wesley Lowery’s report on The Inquirer, ‘Black City. White Paper.’
Lowery points to a phrase from the paper’s cofounder, John Norvell, which is now displayed on a newsroom wall: “In a free state, there should always be an inquirer asking on behalf of the people.”
He writes: “Rather than being an ‘inquirer for all,’ as its motto proudly claims, the paper has for the whole of its history been written largely for and by white Philadelphians, and largely at the expense of the Black residents who currently constitute a plurality of the city.”Freedom and inequality were born in Philadelphia. It's not too late to build a more perfect union.
An editorial that made its way to publication in 1990 that suggested “Black women be incentivized to take birth control” forced Black staffers to protest, while a white female editor told a Latina reporter that Mexican American singer Selena’s death wasn’t an Inquirer story.
