Author(s) Lamb, Yanick Rice and Desrosiers, Kendra Published by New York: Rowman and Littlefield, Ltd Abstract For more than a century, a group of women’s magazines known as the Seven Sisters have been leaders in their category.

Jackson Senior Editor, Essence Magazine Professor Yanick Rice Lamb served as my print journalism sequence coordinator, honors thesis advisor and professor for several core courses in the Department of Journalism in the four years leading up to my graduation in 2010. One of her unique strengths was the ability to foster a culture of innovation among her students and sustain the level of excitement and commitment needed to bring innovative ideas to fruition. In 2008, a group of students and I embarked on what was then considered, a very ambitious and path-breaking media project—starting a national online arts and entertainment magazine headquartered on Howard University’s campus titled 25 Magazine. Lamb’s advisement and training on the fundamentals of magazine journalism, multimedia convergence, production and newsroom organizational processes proved quintessential as 25 Magazine grew from a staff of five to a cross-functional team of nearly 50 students.

Publication No. 21 Research and Reporting on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Role Researcher, reporter and photographer Impact This collection of research and reporting on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is noteworthy because of the historic nature and importance of health reform as well as the vital need to enhance understanding and awareness among citizens, regardless of their stance. These articles brought much-needed attention to unreported and underreported aspects of health reform. They also provided customized content relevant to African Americans. They are an outgrowth of my initial coverage of the inaugural three-day arguments at U.S. Supreme Court and later challenges there. In both cases, I was one of just a few African-American journalists credentialed to cover the proceedings. My work has appeared in a variety of publications and websites before, during and after the hearings, which have also been highlighted in my classes at Howard University as well as with high school students in the Urban Health Media Project under our $300,000 Kellogg grant. My research and preparation also included participation in a National Press Foundation webinar, seminars sponsored by the Association of Health Care Journalists and Kaiser Health News, along with a White House town hall and briefings with the Secretary of Health and other cabinet members. I conducted some of the reporting with support from the Journalists in Aging Fellows Program, a project of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) and New America Media, with funding from the Silver Century Foundation. The components of this compilation have had widespread distribution, including: BlackAmericaWeb.com, the companion site for the Tom Joyner Morning Show, the No. 1...

Publication No. 1 Creative Works Media Production: Web Development Title: FierceforBlackWomen.com Co-Principal Investigator and Co-founder: Lamb, Yanick Rice Contribution I’ve been involved in research and development of a digital network that addresses health disparities by targeting African-American women age 35 and older. The core of the network is a health and wellness website,FierceforBlackWomen.com, which is supplemented by face-to-face interaction, social media and eventually customized apps. Fierce also puts us at the forefront of digital media entrepreneurship at a time when African Americans are woefully under-represented and overlooked. Synopsis When it comes to health and many other areas, women are the decision makers and influencers. Healthy women mean healthy families and healthy communities. Fierce is an exciting, digital network that fills a void in the media landscape by helping busy, dynamic black women in the prime of their lives be healthy, fit and fabulous. Fiercehelps women and their families break the cycle of health disparities, which is literally a matter of life or death in many cases. Impact/Recognition FierceforBlackWomen.com is revolutionary because women’s magazines and websites tend to focus disproportionately on beauty, fashion and entertainment. In this youth-obsessed world, they are also lacking in content and images featuring black women who are 35 and older. My co-founder and I bring years of trust and experience in health journalism from publications ranging from Essenceand Heart & Soulto Healthand Scientific American. For years, women have been begging us to develop the equivalent of a “black Moremagazine.” (Morefocused primarily on white women over 40.) No other media outlets offer the in-depth, journalistic analysis on health and well-being that Fierce provides, along with consistent access...
