As a Video series sponsor, there is a multitude of media opportunities tied to one package-online and print logo presence and a commercial prior to each segment of the series. Each series is usually related to a special event or hot news item, which is featured in the newspaper for several weeks and links are sent by the e-Blast to registered users as a debut.

Advertising with the Afro-American Newspapers is the most effective way to reach the greater Washington and Baltimore African-American market. Each week, more African Americans turn to the AFRO over any other media as a source of Black news.
