That wasn\u2019t just George Floyd. That was a lot of people that felt that they couldn\u2019t breathe&#8230;and you spent so much of your life energy trying to hold it together \u201d&nbsp;<\/em>\u2013 Van Jones, CNN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After CNN called the election, commentator Van Jones, a Black man, choked up on screen, sharing his emotions and a narrative about how Black people in American felt more unsafe than ever before just going about their daily lives in Trump\u2019s America \u2013 just going to Walmart, as he explained, might result in someone shouting a racist slur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump was not a spigot who turned on racism in this country, but he was the faucet that let it flow at full blast. Many other Americans breathed a sigh of relief because that hate will not come from the highest office of the land, in fact, with Kamala Harris, there is a Black woman in that high office as second in command. The fight is only just beginning\u2026again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most alarming point the U.S. needs to reckon with is that 71 million Americans voted for Trump, a man who went so far as to signal his support to white supremacists from the presidential debate stage. Institutional news media needs to lead the way: it is clear that the whiteness of the institutional news media, along with its heteronormativity, its fundamentally secular bent, and its belief in neutrality, leads to many blind spots. I argue this point in&nbsp;<em>News for the Rich White and Blue<\/em>, my forthcoming book, and suggest commercial pressures are unlikely to pave the way for much reform in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many white Americans, I could not fathom how so many Trump voters could brush away his racism. Unfortunately, the Black voices (and BIPOC generally) who work at institutional news outlets are left explaining to white readers and viewers that racism doesn\u2019t go away in a summer of national reckoning. These voices are still on the sidelines. Even though&nbsp;<em>The New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;is led by Dean Baquet, a Black man, voices that would argue that anti-racism is a core value of journalism are still not empowered to do so at&nbsp;<em>The Times<\/em>, unless it is a historical project, as with Nikole Hannah Jones\u2019 1619, or as opinion contributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 71 million turnout of people endorsing racism is a reminder that the U.S. has not interrogated its past and the institutional news media has largely avoided doing so. One explanation is the lack of power accorded to minority voices in newsrooms, where newsrooms, including television, appear diverse but real power is still held by white decision-makers. Another explanation is the reluctance to see racial equity as a basic news value rather than as a political orientation. This is objectivity gone wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just this summer, the AP style guide suggested capitalizing Black, and in 2019, instructed news organizations to avoid using ambiguous language like \u201cracially-charged\u201d or \u201cracially-motivated\u201d &#8211; pushing news organizations to make a call that something or someone is racist. Still, for journalists working in institutional media, to endorse Black Lives Matter is to move from neutrality to political activity. This will be a lasting challenge for any effort for newsrooms that try to tackle systemic racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My colleague at Illinois, Pulitzer-winner Leon Dash, sued&nbsp;<em>The Washington Post&nbsp;<\/em>in 1972 with six other Black journalists while working there for workplace discrimination. He told me a story about how at the time, he watched a Black reporter wearing a Black Power necklace get fired for refusing to take it off. I wonder about this &#8211; what was the&nbsp;<em>Post<\/em>&nbsp;thinking? Would the necklace come off and suddenly, the journalist no longer find Black injustice as part of his professional worldview? The sad fact is that Black journalists are still taken off coverage of Black Lives Matter because of their \u201ccompromised\u201d objectivity. This is a mistake and a failure to reckon with white privilege in newsrooms. As transgender journalist Lewis Raven Wallace writes, \u201cObviously, I can\u2019t be neutral or centrist in a debate over my own humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question that remains for me is this: how can U.S. newsrooms reckon with racism better and get to the not-so-deep underbelly of why 71 million Americans saw no problem voting for Trump? White newsrooms cannot keep having people of color doing it for them (and us). To do so requires interrogating core values and viewing racial justice not as politics but as a core value of journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Wendi Thomas, award-winning investigative journalist and editor of social justice news outlet MLK50 wrote to me after I asked for ways to make this very argument to my other colleagues, \u201cNewsrooms have always operated under some foundational truths: It\u2019s good for people to have enough food to eat. Shelter is important. Quality education matters\u2026..That expanding those truths &#8211; in the face of undeniable and incontrovertible quantitative and qualitative evidence that Black life is devalued and endangered in every way that can be measured &#8211; strikes the old guard as a violation of objectivity shows that the facts don\u2019t matter as much to your senior colleagues as much as they might argue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Nikki Usher Associate professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\u2019s College of Media, with affiliate appointments in Communication and Political Science.
