I found this article to be very interesting! And the comments even more interesting!
There is some truth to it all… there is a lack of Blacks in television, minorities period.
And I can see others views as well…85 % of the NBA is Black and they get more then plenty news coverage.
It is time for Blacks to own something to call our own…not only in entertainment, but in news rooms around the country, behind the senses, writing, marketing and all aspects of media to provide our people will dignified representation.

Saving Black Journalist
Discourse: a formal discussion of a subject in speech or writing, as a dissertation, treatise, sermon, etc.
How has the plight of blacks in media been discussed over the years?
It Hasn’t Really! However In June 2010 The National Association of Black Journalist sent a letter to cable networks, claiming that they were "moving backward" on diversity when it comes to creating opportunities for anchors who aren't black.
(Link below to letter)

There is not one single African American face that represents a cable network on a strong and consistent basis .CNN has taken some strides to hire more black anchors for prime time, i.e.; Soledad O'Brien, Roland S. Martin, Don Lemon Ect., but they do not get the same promotion as Anderson Cooper and Larry King, and other networks have not tried.
BET used to have a news/discussion show with Ed Gordon, but they dropped it because low ratings. After two decades Gordon is returning the BET.
Gordon told Journal-isms that his new show would encompass "everything that's in the headlines, from hard news to pop culture," although "everything under the umbrella of headlines, from the New York Times to the 'Today' show to '60 Minutes,' has taken a turn toward pop culture." But he said "serious issues will be covered and covered well."
Will Gordon save Blacks in the media???
