Real Times Media (RTM), producers of original news and programming for Black audiences headquartered in Detroit, has named Cathy Nedd as president of the Real Times Media News Group division of RTM’s conglomerate that oversees the organization’s news brands in Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
“With Cathy as president of our News Group, not only are we assuring dynamic growth in the capability and depth of those brands, but it will give me more time to focus on strategy and business development for the overall enterprise,” says Hiram E. Jackson, CEO of RTM.
“As we continue our evolution as a national media, marketing, and entertainment company I am excited to be able to put a laser focus on our cultural marketing arm Pitch Black, business lifestyle brand, Who’s Who In Black, and Studio 1452, our original content production outfit. I’m confident that bringing Cathy on board is the best choice to allow me to do that.”
The News Group includes the Michigan Chronicle, Chicago Defender, Atlanta Daily World, Atlanta Tribune, and the New Pittsburgh Courier. The News Group also produces major events around the country, most notably the influential Pancakes & Politics speaker series, Men and Women of Excellence, and 40 Under 40.
“I love the work RTM does to elevate a positive narrative in the African American community, using its respected platforms to inform, educate, celebrate, and memorialize successes in our community,” says Nedd. “I look forward to working in lockstep with the RTM team to advance the vision for the company, expand our reach, and amplify our voice for an even greater impact.”
