Mayor Vincent Gray has had some questions raised about were he has been getting some of his campaign money from and whether he has made any mistakes or received illegal cash donations. This article dealing with an African American Politician wasn’t a big story or anything , however it wasn’t a headline in the newspaper, it only was a small section of the paper with slightly bolder letters. This goes to support the “News Coverage of Black Candidates and Politicians” were they say that “black candidates received significantly more coverage in longer articles than white; however, white candidates’ coverage was more likely than blacks to be prominent ( on the front page and above the fold)”. This was also supported by the fact Governor O’Malleys article about the budget and other news was front page in big bolded letters.
