About J.R. Davis, Director of Content, Radio One & Reach Media

J.R. Bang is what happens when a radio frequency develops a personality disorder and refuses to be turned off.

Part media mind, part cultural instigator, he doesn’t “enter rooms” — he interrupts timelines. Equal parts Chicago grit and internet chaos, J.R. moves like he’s got breaking news in one pocket and a hot take in the other, both already trending before he says a word.

He’s the guy who’ll moderate a panel, hijack the conversation, ask the question everybody’s scared of, answer it himself, and somehow still get invited back. A walking contradiction: polished but reckless, strategic but loud, calculated but looks like he’s freestyling life in real time.

Built in studios, sharpened in group chats, and powered by equal parts ego, instinct, and “did he really just say that?” energy — J.R. Bang doesn’t just cover culture… he pokes it until it reacts.

If there’s a moment happening, he’s either already there or about to make it one.

Kristen Welker emerged as the real winner of the final presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the moderator managed to calmly keep control in a way that was missing from their first meeting.

President Obama's nomination of Myra Selby to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in early 2016 was blocked by Republicans, paving the way for Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to that same seat.

Kamala Harris will likely find herself walking a tightrope of sorts during her questioning of Amy Coney Barrett at the judge’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

With talks of a new stimulus bill eradicated from the conversation, a new poll heaves almost equal blame on President Donald Trump and Democrats.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump met in Cleveland Tuesday night for the first of their three scheduled presidential debates.

It's a daunting task to debate a pathological liar, but that's exactly what Joe Biden will attempt to do when he squares off against Donald Trump in their first presidential debates at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

The New York Times' report on Donald Trump's taxes prompted comparisons of the president to Al Capone, who was arrested, charged with, found guilty of and convicted for tax evasion.

Virginia State University President Dr. Makola Abdullah, Spelman College Student Government Association President Fana Haileselassie and the United Negro College Fund's Lodriguez Murray discuss HBCUs and "the Black vote."
