The New York Daily News Gets Slammed for Jay-Z “Glory” Song Article

Original Story The New York Daily News is in hot water with its Twitter followers.

Early Friday (January 20), the newspaper published an article that exemplifies Jay-Z’s “Glory” track, a song dedicated to his newborn daughter, as a long-awaited anthem for black leaders and family advocates. The piece voices the author’s optimistic opinion on how the Blue Ivy Carter-inspired composition might impact black fathers.

“A lot of other babies are going to benefit. Because Jay-Z’s ecstatic reaction to being a dad will be the strongest boost yet to a growing movement in the black community encouraging responsible fatherhood.” wrote Joanne Molloy.

Though Molly’s post seems written with well intentions to address a large social and structural issue within the culture, it stirred a lot of controversy for the New York City based publication. It seems the author isn’t fully at fault, as The Daily News attached this carelessly-worded message along with the link to the article on it’s twitter:
