Black UK Online Ltd was launched last August in a wave of publicity
at London’s Notting Hill Carnival. Since then there has been
no turning back, as the company’s five member team seek out
new opportunities for it’s widely acclaimed website: www.blackukonline.com
Some critics said it would not survive, because the majority of
black people did not have computer at home and still preferred reading
newspapers. Despite that myopic and jaundiced view of life in 21st
century Britain, the black and Asian communities have proved them
wrong. Research has showed that new technology has brought communications
and computers within the affordable range of most households and
small businesses. In addition, many parents are determined not to
be upstaged by their young children and have returned to classrooms
and colleges at their own leisure for basic IT training.
Our website: www.blackukonline.com is gaining considerable support
from the communities we serve. We are working closely with a wide
variety of groups, local councils, and corporate organisations to
achieve our long-term goal of becoming a leading source of news
and information for Britain’s black and Asian communities.
Black UK Online Ltd. was set up to provide a unique blend of local,
national, and international news, lifestyle, views, reviews, profiles
and entertainment. Our main objective is to widen thought-provoking
editorial beyond the black experience and to reflect more fully,
the multicultural Britain that we live in today.
Meeting the changing needs of our communities -the situation has
changed – more interaction has been taken place among communities
through inter-relations, mixed marriages etc. thus negating the
concept of separate development. All communities are affected by
political and economic considerations and these will have social
implications for most groups and cultures, to name a few - immigration,
housing, education, travel, finance etc
Our aim is to highlight the rich diversity of Britain’s multicultural
communities across England, Wales and Scotland and the significant
contribution that they are make to the British economy. Specialist
media organisations originally set up to redress the individual
needs of particular groups, no longer hold a monopoly on multiculturalism.
Although a number of websites already exist in this particular category,
we believe that blackukonline.com is unique, because our coverage
of news is not restricted to black issues. Our aim is to become
the leading authority in electronic format in this field. In doing
so, we believe that we could assist in helping to unite multicultural
communities in the UK.
Development in new technology had led to a new type of audience
- browsers - hence the reduction in newspaper circulation as recognised
by ABC. Blackukonline.com is primarily aimed at males and females
aged between 12 and 50 and comprising the following categories:
12 – 17 Young people with interests ranging from games to
Education and training opportunities.

business, graduates, job seekers etc. Probably living near inner
cities or may have migrated to rural areas, but want to keep up
to date with community issues and news in electronic format.
