Newspapers and Their Time with the Syndicate Summary This book's predecessor, The Grapevine of the Black South, emphasized the owners of the Atlanta Daily World and its operation of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate between 1931 and 1955. In a pragmatic effort to avoid racial confrontation developing from white fear, newspaper editors developed a practical radicalism that argued on the fringes of racial hegemony, saving their loudest vitriol for tyranny that was not local and thus left no stake in the game for would-be white saboteurs. Thomas Aiello reexamined historical thinking about the Depression-era Black South, the information flow of the Great Migration, the place of southern newspapers in the historiography of Black journalism, and even the ideological and philosophical underpinnings of the civil rights movement. With Practical Radicalism and the Great Migration, Aiello continues that analysis by tracing the development and trajectory of the individual newspapers of the Syndicate, evaluating those with surviving issues, and presenting them as they existed in proximity to their Atlanta hub. In so doing, he emphasizes the thread of practical radicalism that ran through Syndicate editorial policy. Practical Radicalism and the Great Migration is a supplement to The Grapevine of the Black South, providing a fuller picture of the Scott Newspaper Syndicate and the Black press in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource title from digital title page; (viewed on January 31, 2023) Subject Scott Newspaper Syndicate -- History -- 20th century African American newspapers -- Southern States -- History -- 20th century African American newspapers -- History -- 20th century Syndicates (Journalism) -- Southern States -- History -- 20th century Syndicates (Journalism) -- United States -- History -- 20th century Radicalism and the press -- Southern States -- History -- 20th century Radicalism and the press -- United States -- History -- 20th century Great Migration, ca. 1914-ca. 1970.
