In the Sunday
New York Times (December 4,2016) there was a large pull out section advertising Denzel Washington's new film
Fences, based on August Wilson's play, that is due for release on Christmas Day. The section carried blurbs by film critics from the
Hollywood Reporter,
Variety,
Rolling Stone, the
New York Times, and other publications. But none from an African-American publication. This omission tells me that Paramount Pictures doesn't think that the black press matters even on a project about the black experience by a black playwright and a black director (Denzel Washington).
