Racially segregated? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't legal segregation outlawed in the South in the 1960's? I understand that there are still predominently 'black' neighborhoods and predominently 'white' neighborhoods, but the way this was phrased suggested that Jackson in still living in 1960 under Jim Crow. And without sources to back the assertions regarding racially segregation and white supremacy/black separatists, these are POV statements. Further, the way the section was phrased appeared to be an endorsement of the paper's credibility over the other local alternatives based solely on race, which is also not NPOV. I don't object to the statements if they can be backed up with cited references and a more NPOV tone.
Independently verifiable information has been not be provided since March 2007 to support the readership and website page view claims. The Wiki of the Jackson Free Press makes no such claims only making reference to an approximation of 16,000 readers. The AAN entry for the JFP lists the 16,000 reader claim but indicates that the newspaper circulation is not audited. The JFP website does not have a visible counter. In fact JFP website indicates that known problems exist with statistical accuracy by noting that its counter measuring visits over a 12 minute rolling period randomly resets and is unreliable. The references to readership and page views are removed pending the availability of independently verifiable sourcing.
Response: Actually the Jackson Free Press does not claim a "readership" of 16,000. It claims an accurate and verifiable (if not with a URL) print run ("ciruclation") of a 17,000 (which increased from 16,000 since spring 2007). That figure means just the number of papers *published* each week. The "readership" is actually much higher and growing (currently near 50,000), as national Media Audit surveys show on an annual basis. The larger number is because such surveys as Media Audit reveal the "multiplier" of how many many people typically read each copy of a publication, as people inside the media industry understand. The average multiplier is around 2.3 for most newspaper; the JFP's is higher than average, probably because many of the most popular racks and boxes are empty within three days of publication, meaning that a good number of people must read the same copy (such as in coffee shops, bars, restaurants and in family homes).
All of this is verifiable information and makes sense to those familiar with how media audits/controlled circulation works.
As for claims about the "counter" on the Web site, there are much more reliable ways these days to monitor site usage, as many Wikipedia readers are likely aware of.
Response: All great puffery but still unverifiable claims of readership and page views. If there are external sources to verify please provide links.
I stumbled on this page via the Miss. State Univ. page ... Donna Ladd has a Wikipedia page? GMAFB. She edits a free weekly "listings" paper with delusions of journalistic grandeur; unless everyone in the U.S. is entitled to his or her own Wikipedia article, then it's inexplicable why Ladd would have one. -- Andersonblog 13:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I see that this article has been nominated for deletion by User:One2knowms. As of the writing of this (a couple of hours after this article was nominated), the afore-mentioned user's only edits have been to nominate this article for deletion. As the wording of the reason given...
... would appear to be non-neutral, I will drop an invite on User:One2knowms talk page and ask them to justify here why this article should be deleted.
My personal point of view here (as someone who knows nothing about Donna Ladd) is that without proper justification for deletion, this article should not be deleted. It had already been noted on the article about probably conflict of interest, but as so many different people have contributed over the last couple of years, I would question whether that tag is still valid.
