“Pamela on Politics” is one of the first political blogs created to comment on Washington politics from the African-American perspective. BET News Senior Political Producer Pamela Gentry kicked off the blog in the days following Hurricane Katrina to report on the outrage and frustration felt by Black lawmakers because of the slow federal response to the tragedy.

The blog has become a sounding board for Black Americans to ask tough questions of their lawmakers; an eye that examines the impact Washington policy has on readers’ lives; and a front-row ticket pass to one of the most historic and exciting presidential races in American history.

The blog’s author pulls in her broadcast experience to create informative, clear-cut and thought-provoking commentary on issues being addressed by the United States Congress and the White House.

To insure her coverage offers more than other mainstream media outlets, she always includes the perspective of African-American national and local elected officials as well as political watchers and Black policy experts. The goal is always to deliver accurate and compelling coverage as well as include underreported stories and insider information on breaking news stories.
