Last week MediaTakeOut.com did what many thought was impossible -- it generated more than one million page views in a single day.
MediaTakeOut.com's8217;s founder, Fred Mwangaguhunga, was both excited and vindicated by the latest web statistics. Fred explained, 's8220;when we first launched, people kept telling me
to cut back on the number of Black news stories because 's8216;Black people don's8217;t use the internet's8217; 's8230; I knew they were wrong.'s8221; And wrong they were.
MediaTakeOut.com routinely draws 100,000 visitors daily 's8211; an audience comparable to many popular mainstream sites.
The six-month old MediaTakeOut.com's8217;s meteoric rise is largely attributable to its wildly popular exclusives. The exclusives have already been quoted by BET Style, MTV News, The NY
Post's8217;s Page Six, and popular radio personalities like Wendy Williams and Tom Joyner.
And Fred Mwangaguhunga tells exactly how MediaTakeOut.com comes up with its exclusives. 's8220;Our staff will go to any length to get a story,'s8221; he said, 's8220;one of our reporters
even steaked out the home of a famous athlete's8217;s mistress, waiting 6 hours in the pouring rain.'s8221;
Luckily not all of MediaTakeOut.com's8217;s exclusives require such a hands-on approach. According to the founder, 's8220;we get 90% of our stories from insiders looking to spill the
beans 's8211; like hairstylists, bodyguards or bitter ex-girlfriends.'s8221;
