It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers. This chronology only scratches the surface of a very long and complex story, but hopefully it will serve as a useful reference tool for researchers and journalism historians.

    THE CONTEMPORARY BLACK PRESS: AN EXPLORATORY QUALITATIVE STUDY OF JOURNALISTS’ PERCEIVED SHARED PROFESSIONAL VALUES, NEWSROOM COMMUNITY ROLE, AND SELF-EMPOWERMENT By EARLESHA T. BUTLER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2019 © 2019 Earlesha T. Butler This dissertation is dedicated to Yvonne M. Croston, a former director of the McNair Scholars Program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and an important influencer in a higher educational foundation. Additionally, she fought and believed in me and my ability to earn a Ph.D. when no one else did and gave me confidence to excel and attain academic achievement beyond my imagination. For these reasons, I honor her. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 1 Corinthians 15:10 states: “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” I am thankful for God’s divine order or plan for my life, which led me to this phase of my life, during which I was given an opportunity to earn a doctoral degree. I would like to thank all of my dissertation committee members: Drs. Bernell Tripp, Huan Chen, Jasmine McNealy, and Sharon Austin. Without your support and expertise, I would not have been able to successfully navigate the Ph.D. experience nor would I have been able to complete this dissertation.
