Abstract
This study has compared the news coverage of African American issues during the COVID-19 pandemic between general-interest online newspapers and Black news sites. Compared with COVID-19 pandemic news coverage by general-interest news sites, news coverage by Black news sites included significantly higher number of stories with African American issues. This study also identifies similarities in pandemic news coverage of African American issues between local news sites and Black news sites publishing from Black-majority cities.
