TV broadcast companies fall short when it comes to diversity in the top ranks of news management. According to a study released Thursday (Aug. 6) by the National Association of Black Journalists, only 11.7 percent of news managers in the nation’s newsrooms are people of color. That’s down significantly from last year’s Television Management Diversity Census, which found that people of color comprised 16.6 percent of the news managers.
