Last Wednesday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and top administration officials met with the California Black Media Advocates at the State Capitol in Sacramento.

   California Black Media Advocates (CMBA) is a media organization that specializes in outreach to over 2 million people in the African American community through 46 newspapers, six magazines and three radio stations.
   The meeting’s discussion topics ranged from health care and prison reform to transportation and infrastructure. The CMBAprovided feedback and ideas to address these challenges.
   “One of the best ways for my administration to reach out to every California community is by maintaining a strong line of communication with California’s local and ethnic media groups,” said Schwarzenegger. “That’s why I am excited to have this opportunity today to meet with the California Black Media Advocates — so I can continue to cultivate communication with all Californians through strong relationships with local newspapers, magazines and radio stations.”
