The whole company
Eight parts, one newsroom.
Each part feeds the next: the desk and the data become the Journal's reporting, the reporting becomes the shows, and the shows become what plays in a waiting room.
Research and data
The reporting starts with sources and numbers we collect ourselves.
Data and wire engine
Diaspora Desk Daily
Reads nearly 700 approved news outlets every ten minutes and tracks nearly 700 companies, banks and public institutions, with filings drawn from SEC EDGAR and FINRA.
desk.blackexecutivebrief.comMacro and market tracker
The Six
Prices 21 stock exchanges across Africa and the diaspora after each close, ranks the Sixth 100 (the most actively traded listed companies), and keeps macro scorecards and citizenship, trade and restitution trackers across the African Union's five regions and the diaspora, the sixth.

Screens
Where the reporting meets Main Street: lobby and waiting room screens.
Screens for business owners
BEJ Executive Network
A business puts its own lobby TV to work with our programming and its own cards, and keeps all of what it earns selling card space to neighbors.
screens.bejmedia.comLocal advertising network
BEJ Executive Network Reseller Program
Local marketers place screens in other businesses at no cost to the host and sell the card space: indoor digital billboards, with sign-and-pay links and daily payouts.

Also part of the Journal: the BEJ Source Desk, its network of expert sources for reporters, and the print magazine and shop.
What plays on the screen
Real reporting, cut for a waiting room.
Between a business's own cards, the screen plays short segments from the network: Top of the Hour news bulletins, market reports from The Six, and history from Yesterday's Architects. It is written and checked by the same people who publish the Journal, not bought from a stock library.
