Chauncey Wendell Bailey Jr. (October 20, 1949 – August 2, 2007) was an American journalist noted for his work primarily on issues of the African American community. He served as editor-in-chief of The Oakland Post in Oakland, California from June 2007 until his murder. His 37-year career in journalism included lengthy periods as a reporter at The Detroit News and The Oakland Tribune.
Recognition
In March 2020, the Oakland City Council voted to publicly memorialize Bailey by renaming a portion of 14th Street between Broadway and Oak Street to “Chauncey Bailey Way”, a street where he frequently walked to work. This street name was presented in a ceremony in March 2022.
