Minority Report

(AP / CBS)
"In 2006, 15 percent of all network stories were reported by minority correspondents and 28 percent were reported by women. This is the highest proportion of minority and female visibility since 2002, when minorities and women accounted for 14 percent and 29 percent of all stories aired, respectively…In 1990 minorities reported only seven percent and women thirteen percent of stories aired on the evening news shows."

Good to see a woman anchor, and more people of color reporting on the daily newscasts and, ancillary to that, in the papers and magazines. Mentoring in the journo side of the news has done a good deal in bringing up those nummbers, which were quite low a decade ago.
