State Sen. Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Culver City) today won the endorsement of Our Weekly, a weekly newspaper with an online edition (www.ourweekly.com) that has been growing in popularity and influence among readers in Los Angeles County’s African American community since its founding in January 2005.
“Our Weekly is always tough, but fair, in its assessment, evaluation and judgment of leadership when it comes to issues affecting the African American community,” the senator said.
“The newspaper’s willingness to take on tough topics has never wavered since it first hit the street. Our Weekly’s editors have never skewed their coverage of the news to fit a particular viewpoint. More importantly, Our Weekly has never used its news pages as a political tool to advance a special interest agenda or parrot the partisan propaganda of its owners like another local African American-owned newspaper has so shamelessly done during the course of this campaign.”
