Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Fans have been ecstatic about the “Black Panther” movie since last year, and with the release of the teaser trailer, excitement has certainly continued to build.

Marvel Studios released a promo poster Friday, June 9 for the film starring Chadwick Boseman as the title character. Other major Black Hollywood stars appearing in the Ryan Coogler-directed film, which premieres in February, include Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and Sterling K. Brown.

Fans eager to see the fictional African nation of Wakanda and its rightful king, T’Challa, — who’s Black Panther’s alter ego — in action are bracing themselves for the teaser trailer airing tonight during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

After the trailer was released, fans quickly took to Twitter to share their excitement.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
