Senior writer David Pluviose in “Time Out” speaks to Black sports reporters and editors about the coverage of Black athletes. Does the fact that the majority of sports writers and editors are non-minority play a role in the often-negative coverage of Black sports figures? As David reports, many Black sports journalists find themselves sounding a cautionary tone about rushing to judgment when reporting stories involving Black athletes.
Last, but certainly not least, senior writer Ronald Roach interviews CNN White House Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux about how higher education helped shape her journalism career. In “The Making of Malveaux,” Suzanne offers to young journalists what I think is great advice for all professionals: “You don’t have to be fearless
during your whole career. But I think there’s a time when you have to really seize the opportunity and just go for it. Be fearless in your pursuit.”
