Soledad O’Brien on News Media’s Reckoning with Racism

As newsrooms across the country confront issues of race and
diversity, award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien says it’s a
welcome “MeToo” moment for journalists of color to speak out.
O'Brien detailed her own experiences in a recent op-ed for the New
York Times including being called the "affirmative-action hire" by
colleagues at her first job. Today, after years working at major
news outlets such as NBC and CNN, she's the chief executive of her
own production company and regularly uses her Twitter feed to call
out poor journalism in headlines and interviews. We’ll talk to
O’Brien about how newsrooms should address racism in hiring and
news coverage and  get her take on the state of journalism in
the Trump era.
