MAGAZINES
On
the whole, when I wrote these, I was just getting into a good
period with the novels and magazine assignments. I felt that my
life was starting to come together. 1963 was the year of the big
newspaper strike in New York. The result was that TV local news
went to thirty minutes and stayed there until it went to an hour
and then two hours in the 1970s and 1980s. 1963 was also the year
I did my first and only piece for Ebony. I don't believe
the magazine has done much on writers and literature since. A
part of the Ebony family was The Negro Digest
(later Black World), edited by Hoyt Fuller, now dead,
so there was no real need, perhaps, for Ebony to do more.
But Black World closed down late in the 1970s and nothing
has replaced it, so there is a void. |
