AOL Appoints New Chief of Black Voices Service

Via The Washington Post.

When Janet Rollé was head of marketing for HBO Home Video, she developed a collection of programs aimed at black viewers.

"Typically African American executives in the media are always on the lookout for opportunities to address that audience," she said.

Starting today, Rollé will be working to reach African American audiences full time in her new job as a vice president of Dulles-based America Online Inc. and general manager of its Black Voices service.

Black Voices is available both to AOL subscribers and to non-subscribers through its Web site, http://www.blackvoices.com . AOL, a unit of media giant Time Warner Inc., bought the Web site last year and combined it with its other black-oriented Internet content.
