Black Americans and the Internet

Author Pepper Miller recently presented the results of a Radio One/Yankelovich survey to Target Market News' ninth annual African-American Research and Advertising Summit.

Among the findings of the study were that Black Americans have caught up with white Americans when it comes to using the Internet. Pepper commented that one reason studies have shown Black Americans lagging so far behind their white peers is that surveyors have asked about computer use vs. online use. "Access tells a bigger story about who does what, when, and where online. Radio One and Yankelovich asked the better question and got it right."

Pepper is one of the outstanding Black American researchers today who knows what the right questions are and how to ask them to gain insight into the market.
