Columbia Journalism Review’s Race Issue

The November 2019 issue of the Columbia Journalism Review has several articles of interest: “Missing the Story” by Jelani Cobb, about what is often lost when white journalists write stories that deal with race, “Newsrooms have failed spectacularly at achieving diversity” by Gabriel Arana, which emphasizes that 17% of news staffs are not white, and “We Wish to Plead Our Own Cause” by Alexandria Neason, about the past and future of the black press.
