Cultural Pluralism in the Newsroom
This is an excerpt from the paper...
"According to the latest survey results, people of color ù African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans and Native Americans ù make up less than 12% of professionals in daily newspaper newsrooms." (Lloyd, 2002, 1) Yet, the general population, especially in some California communities is made up of over 50% ethnicity creating a situation wherein white news professionals no longer reflect a majority view. "Currently, minorities make up 28.4 percent of the U.S. population and will grow to an estimated 38.2 percent by 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau." (Bowman, 2000, 1)Historically, some of the impediments to an ethnically diverse newsroom were the practices of hiring managers. Racial and ethnic stereotypes in reporting of the news have also been seen as impeding the focus and truth in the coverage of stories.
