HBCU Alumni Update: Oprah Winfrey getting her own TV network
Discovery Communications and Winfrey announced a deal Tuesday where the Discovery Health network will be turned over to Winfrey in 2009, becoming OWN — the Oprah Winfrey Network.
The National Black Family Technology Awareness Campaign, will celebrate the tenth annual Black Family Technology Awareness Week (BFTAW), February 10th - 16th, 2008. BFTAW is a national public awareness campaign designed to encourage more African Americans to incorporate technology into their daily lives.
But participation of African Americans in the "Digital Revolution" makes good economic sense. Studies suggest that those who embrace technology generally have higher incomes. Research shows that, compared with the African American community as a whole, those online are 73 percent more likely to live in a household having $50,000 or more in total income, 88 percent more likely to hold a college degree, and 90 percent more likely to own stocks or other market investments.
For more information about the 2008 Black Family Technology Awareness Campaign including information on how your community can apply for a BFTAW activity grant, log onto Welcome to the Black Family Network, or contact CCG's Director Technology Awareness Programs, Nuria Alvarez, nalvarez@ccgmag.com

50K isn't a lot of money for a household with a family!
