SOME of my African-American media colleagues are worked up over the lack of racial diversity in cable television news - especially in prime time. The issue resurfaced after CNN recently canceled the ratings- challenged talk show "In the Arena" hosted by Eliot Spitzer. The National Association of Black Journalists complained that no African- American journalists appear to have been considered to host a replacement show.

We deliberately did not travel to Haiti immediately after the earthquake because we did not want to get in the way of the frenetic rescue and relief effort as it was unfolding. However, February 9-12, 30 days after the onslaught of this tragedy, HSP led a fact finding and assessment delegation to Haiti for first-hand observations of the relief, recovery and reconstruction effort. Composed primarily of African-American journalists, our mission was to ensure that long after Haiti has faded from the consciousness of the mainstream news outlets, the Black press would be a voice for Haiti in Black America, sharing vital information and galvanizing people of African descent to remain engaged in the long-term process of rebuilding the first Black Republic in this hemisphere. The Haitian people...
More Diverse Nation Fails to Value Diversity in Print and Online Newsrooms WASHINGTON, April 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Newsrooms cut black journalists and supervisors at a higher rate than ever before in 2009 while the minority communities they cover grow larger. As more African-American journalists lose their jobs, diversity in newsrooms has taken a back seat according to a study released Sunday by the American Society of News Editors (ASNE)."It is a travesty that minority journalists would be targeted disproportionately in staff cuts," said National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) President Kathy Y. Times. "Despite the economy we must keep our newsrooms and voices at least on parity with the communities we serve."Newsroom jobs held by black journalists were slashed by an u...
This is to conceal and hide what is going on in the rest of the world like Iraq and Afghanistan," he said through an interpreter. "If you want to talk about real suffering, all the American people believed Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. But after the destruction of Iraq, they had to confess they didn't have any weapons of mass destruction and Saddam doesn't have any relationship with Al Qaeda," [Omar El Bashir] said through an interpreter. "Who is taking responsibility for that? All of the young Americans who died?

Central Michigan University (CMU) is making an outstanding contribution to the field of journalism. This year as CMU celebrates the 14th anniversary of the Lem Tucker Endowed Journalism Scholarship, they will also celebrate the addition of a second scholarship. The scholarship is named for Lem Tucker, a CMU alumnus who made journalism history for African Americans when he became one of the first African American journalists to work as a television network reporter. He became a prominent voice at all three national networks, NBC, CBS and ABC. Tucker wasn't an "African American Journalist," he was a journalist first. He was a two-time Emmy Award winner for his outstanding work at the national television networks before his untimely death in 1991. Since its inception, the Lem Tucker Journa...
Don't tell Hattie Kane, but I have another mother who means the world to me. Her name was Nancy Hicks Maynard; she died last week after a long illness at the too-young age of 61. Maynard was considered one of the leading African-American journalists of her time, but her work as a mentor to a generation of young reporters just getting a break in the business was as much a part of her legacy as any of the stories she covered in her newspaper career.
