BOOTs on the ground: a global dance craze


What started as a playful freestyle in a Houston driveway has exploded into one of the biggest viral sensations of the past year: “Boots on the Ground.” With its jaunty heel-to-toe stomp, hand-roll salute, and final “drop-and-pose,” the routine has filled TikTok feeds, pep-rallies, wedding receptions, and NFL end-zone celebrations from Dallas to Dubai.

What Do we Do with MAGA Now?

As the nation moves through the turbulent chaos of the Orange Oligarch, one question continues to haunt our collective conscience: What is America to do with those in the MAGA movement who remain unflinchingly loyal to the Liar in Chief, no matter what?

Will America Admit Racism is the Lynchpin Exploding Democracy?

For its entire history, the United States of America has depended on its Black people. We have built this country, contributed to its advancement, and protected it from threats abroad and domestically. All while denegrating and denying our humanity. Now when America needs us most, they do not know what to do without us.

Penis Power: How White Men Win

Given the stakes of the last election, it is nothing short of jaw-dropping that Donald Trump—"the orange one"—will once again be called Mr. President. Despite facing multiple indictments, a slew of civil cases, and an undeniable record of incompetence, Trump secured victory, exposing America’s enduring devotion to misogyny and racism. While it’s long been acknowledged that racism is a cornerstone of Trump’s appeal, the critical role of misogyny in shaping American electoral decisions has been egregiously overlooked.

Four Great Reasons to Advertise in Your Local Newspaper


Geography

Newspapers permit an advertiser to reach a large number of people within a specified geographical area. Advertising in a local newspaper ensures your ad will be seen by people in your target market. Internet advertising is harder to target locally because of the international nature of the Web.

Flexibility & Function

Printed products are far more tangible and useful to many people than TV advertising. Hearing about a product or a phone number on a TV commercial may be fleeting and leave people trying to remember the message. But people can cut out a newspaper ad and use it when it’s convenient to find out more about the business.


Target Market & Audience Size


While it can be hard to find out exactly how many local people visit a website, you can find out the exact circulation of The Urban Times News newspaper. This gives you a better idea about the size of the audience you are paying for.


Business Image


Since community newspapers deal with local issues, they tend to be read by people who have strong interest in or strong ties to the community. By advertising in community papers, you demonstrate that your business is part of the local scene. Consequently, readers may choose your product over a competing regional or national brand as a show of support for local businesses.
