In electronic media, 12 percent of broadcast journalists are black, similar to the national population figure of 13 percent. It's not only insulting to me, but to black journalists around the country.A failure to include journalists of many different backgrounds means missing stories. Hardy, who just left a job in Greenville, S.C., said that without black journalists there, stories about gentrified neighborhoods would have gone untold. The sweep of national protests following the death of George Floyd has news leaders talking to their staffs about how the story affects them. An internal outcry over the essay wasn't apparent until a number of black journalists tweeted that Cotton's argument in favor of using federal troops to quell violence made them feel unsafe, and others throughout the newsroom supported them.

A black reporter from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was told she could not cover the citys protests over the death of George Floyd because of a tweet, and now dozens of her colleagues, fellow journalists, her union and even the citys mayor are speaking out in support of her. On Sunday, Johnson posted four photos that show trashed public spaces in the aftermath of a crowd. Guild President Michael A. Fuoco, who is also a Post-Gazette reporter, told the AP that guild leaders were appalled by the move, and the papers editors have not yielded at all in discussions about Johnsons status. We feel taking a black woman off the most monumental national story about civil rights in the last 50 years is punishment, Fuoco said. We have very few black journalists.
