We also use google alerts for key topics. Our main searches use the keywords: “Black Economics” and “Black Business” to get the most hits. We use several keyword variations such as “African American”, “Afro”, “Minority”, and “Hispanic / Latino.” We get about 50% of our stories this way.
Note: We do look for conservative publications like Forbes and the Wall Street Journal. But, like most second-tier media outlets, they have limited resources and choose not to cover Black Business and Economic topics. We would love to add a thoughtful Black conservative point of view.
