Propaganda Score: 8.1/10

Black NewsBeat with Dr. Kimeka Campbell is Harrisburg's own late-night talk show — live twice a month at Open Stage in downtown Harrisburg, pay-what-you-can tickets, and streaming everywhere from Facebook to WPGV TV. Launched February 2021 out of a joint venture with Open Stage and the Young Professionals of Color, it's part talk show, part movement space: poets, musicians, organizers, educators, and storytellers centering Black and Brown life in Central PA.

Why it hits: the formats are sticky. "Movies & Melanin" breaks down pop culture through the culture. "Sweeping the Streets" spotlights grassroots work nobody else covers. "Sessions with the Candidates" puts local races under the lens — prothonotary debates, justice access, transparency — the down-ballot stuff that actually touches your life. Her Juneteenth HBG 2026 coverage pulled in local press flowers and proved the show can move a whole city.

Why she belongs: national discourse is starving for local power. Black NewsBeat builds the bench — community, culture, and conversation on its own terms. Black NewsBeat on Facebook
