And this news from Seattle, Washington: Newspapers and broadcasters risk losing credibility if their staffs don’t reflect the diversity of the communities they cover, this according to panelists at the opening of a conference of journalists of color. Some 6,000 Black, Latino, Asian, Native American and other journalists from around the country are expected to attend the Unity Conference, which formally opens today. Democracy Now! we’ll be broadcasting from Seattle, Washington, at the Unity Conference on Friday. Juan González will be joining me then.
