It's Been a Minute

Reckoning With Race in Journalism

The newsrooms that covered the protests for racial justice are now being forced to confront racism and inequity within their own organizations. Black journalists and other journalists of color are sharing their experiences on social media and leading a public debate over what it means to be "objective," whose stories are told, and how whiteness still dictates newsroom practices, opportunities and compensation. Sam chats about this reckoning within newsrooms with <a href="https://theundefeated.com/">The Undefeated</a>'s <a href="https://twitter.com/SorayaMcDonald">Soraya Nadia McDonald</a>, <a href="https://www.futuromediagroup.org/">Futuro Media</a> president and founder and <a href="https://www.latinousa.org/">Latino USA</a> host <a href="https://twitter.com/Maria_Hinojosa">Maria Hinojosa</a> and NPR public editor <a href="https://twitter.com/kellymcb">Kelly McBride</a>.
