Production

Rob Redding founded Redding News Review to compete with mainstream news organizations and cover under-reported issues.[2]

Redding News Review was hosted on Sirius XM between 2012 and 2013[3] and later became a podcast.[1]

Content

A 2013 interview with Stromae explored the extent of racism in Belgium.[4]

The show has a regular feature called Talking Tough with Curry featuring discussions with Tommy J. Curry.[5] A 2012 episode resulted in Curry receiving death threats after Curry's jokes about violence against white people were taken out of context and shared online by journalist Rod Dreher.[3][6][7]

Reception and influence

In August 2011, the web site appears to also have been targeted by The Washington Times newspaper, where Redding once worked.[8]

In November 2011, a report about President Obama being concerned about the Troy Davis case, which was denied by the White House.[9]

The site won three Black Web Awards in 2008, 2009 and 2010.[10]

The site has been placed in the "vanguard of Internet news sites."[11] The site has also been called a "clearing house for African-American news."[12]
