A weekly television series about New York's ethnic, independent and community media

On this edition of Independent Sources we focus on what’s being reported in the Jewish media about the state of Black/Jewish relations, and what Jews in the U.S. and in Israel are saying about Obama’s approach to problems in the Middle East. We visit two companies who have put their imprint on the ethnic press. We profile a newspaper that embraces a new generation of Indian-Americans, and we go to the IPPIES, where the best of ethnic and community media is recognized.
