Tired of The Tragic Mulatto? Controversy Generates Comments But Doesn’t Guarantee Highest Page Views

One thing that we learn over and over again at The Atlanta Post is that the most viewed stories don’t necessarily generate the most comments. Although the piece Tired of The Tragic Mulatto Cop-Out is generating a lot of heated debate on our since since it’s publication five days ago, it’s not one of our top stories. It goes to reaffirm that certain hot-button issues will always ignite a lot of comments from passionate readers. As of today, the investigative piece Young, Black, and Missing is our most popular story, although it has generated very few comments. Interesting inverse relationship indeed….

The Atlanta Post Snags Big Names & BlackVoices

The Atlanta Post (which we fondly call TAP) has wasted no time in scooping up exclusive interviews with big names in black business. As a result, the web-o-sphere has been abuzz with our coverage.

Just recently for example, our TAP team interviewed Radio One mogul, Cathy Hughes about the challenges of urban radio here; subsequently, a radio industry trade magazine, Radio Ink, highlighted us here.

We also provided original coverage on former bling king, Damon Dash here…a piece that was soon referenced here, on AOL’s BlackVoices.

So, loyal Moguldom fans, we’re trudging along full force with content that is sure to establish TAP as the authority on urban business news. Strap on your virtual seat belts, as our fascinating journey has only just begun!

Moguldom Targets High-Income African-Americans with Launch of The Atlanta Post

New Online Destination Meets Fast-Growing Demand for Coverage of African-American Business, Finance, Politics, and News. Lucrative Target Market Has Average Annual Household Income of $122,000

New York (PRWEB) March 3, 2010 — Moguldom Media Group (www.moguldom.com), an innovative new media company, today announced the launch of The Atlanta Post (www.AtlantaPost.com), a new online destination meeting the business, financial, political, and lifestyle needs of high-income African-Americans. The nationally-focused site is complemented by four local editions targeting Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and Washington DC. The Atlanta Post is the latest addition to Moguldom’s diversified portfolio of online publishing brands, which reach an estimated 2.5 million unique visitors each month (Google Analytics).

With the introduction of The Atlanta Post, Moguldom is moving to capitalize on a highly lucrative market which has traditionally been overlooked by online publishers: African-Americans between the ages of 25 – 55 with an household income of more than $75,000. Representing 17% of the African-American population, these highly educated, well-informed, motivated, and ambitious individuals account for 45% of the community’s total buying power—which has been projected to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2012 (Packaged Facts). Still, in spite of its significant economic influence, this elite population has until now had few sources of targeted, premium news and information. more))
