Faithe Colas co-hosts MPTV’s "Black Nouveau"
Faithe Colas, publisher of the "Milwaukee Courier," a weekly African American newspaper, has been selected as the new co-host for Milwaukee Public Television’s "Black Nouveau." The half- hour series airs Wednesdays on MPTV-10 at 6:30 p.m.
Colas joins Keith Murphy, who has been producing and hosting radio and television programs for more than 17 years. Murphy presents "Urban Journal" on XM Satellite Radio and has co-hosted "Black Nouveau" for the last two years.
"Black Nouveau" is designed to promote a better understanding of African Americans, to explore issues, and to present stories that educate and inform.
"Faithe will bring a valuable perspective to the program through her many connections in the African American community," said Ellis Bromberg, MPTV’s general manager. "We look forward to presenting some fascinating and rewarding stories that will reflect her journalistic spirit."
Colas began her career at the "Courier" 20 years ago as a sales executive and later served as advertising manager, associate publisher, and editor. She was named publisher in March, 2004. She has been a WMCS radio show panelist and co-hosted "What’s Going On?" on MATA community television.
She is a member of the NAACP Executive Committee, a vice president of the Wisconsin Black Media Association, and active in several other community and professional organizations. Her awards include the US Postal Service "Women Putting Their Stamp on Milwaukee 2002" Award, the Andrew S. Douglas 2003-04 Community Service Award, and a number of other honors.
