Editorial Asks After Racial Buffalo Shooting

The information is coming quickly, and it is enraging,” the Buffalo News swiftly editorialized Saturday, after 10 people were gunned down at a supermarket in that city. It was a mass shooting that officials were quick to label as ‘pure evil’ and racially motivated.

“Not only did a heavily armed kid from the Binghamton area drive to Buffalo to commit mass murder, but almost a decade after Sandy Hook, these crimes are still happening,” the editorial continued.

[The editorial was written before this revelation Sunday, as reported by the News‘ Stephen T. Watson and Lou Michel: “In chilling detail, the accused shooter laid out in a 180-page manifesto why he wanted to kill, how he came to believe a racist conspiracy theory and then recorded himself driving to a supermarket on Jefferson Avenue and carrying out the attack.

[Law enforcement officials on Sunday told The Buffalo News they’re convinced of the authenticity of the manifesto, which they say Payton Gendron posted online Saturday sometime before he pulled up to a Tops Markets in Buffalo and began a racist shooting spree.”

[Also on Sunday, Oliver Darcy wrote for CNN: ” Fox News created a safe space for its viewers who have bought into the Great Replacement theory, sold by the right-wing network’s top host, Tucker Carlson. “The network largely ignored the theory at the heart of the suspect’s apparent screed. I searched rush transcripts and could not find any mentions of the Great Replacement theory, outside one instance in which anchor Eric Shawn briefly referenced it in Sunday’s 4pm hour. It’s a glaring omission from the network that has promoted the racist theory over and over again to its audience…]

“This time, it happened here.

“ ‘We are hurting, and we are seething right now as a community,’ Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said.

“It is a righteous and jumbled anger, crosscut with alarm and heartbreak and confusion about how to express it all.

“Anger that someone hardly out of childhood was so consumed with racial hatred that he traveled for hours to murder strangers in Buffalo. So say municipal and law enforcement officials.

“Alarm that the horrors that have afflicted other parts of the country – in Orlando, in Las Vegas, at Sandy Hook – have now broken into our city.

“Heartbreak for the 10 people massacred at the Tops market on Jefferson Avenue and for their families, friends and neighbors. How is it that so routine an errand as grocery shopping can be so fateful a decision?

“Confusion at trying to make sense of an 18-year-old wearing body armor and livestreaming as he fires a high-powered rifle at people whose only mistake was to be in the way of an adolescent consumed with hatred and bent on bloodletting. Four of those who were killed worked at the store. One, a recently retired Buffalo police officer, was a security guard. He tried to stop the shooter and paid with his life.

“Said Erie County Sheriff John Garcia, ‘It was straight up, a racially motivated hate crime.’

“The suspect, Payton Gendron, is white. Of 13 people shot, 11 were Black.

“This person,” he said, ‘was pure evil.’

“Where does that come from?

“Gendron was arrested at the scene and quickly arraigned on a charge of first-degree murder.

“Other questions arise. What drove this person to kill people he didn’t even know? Why Buffalo? Where did he get the body armor and the rifle? Were any clues missed that could have prevented this cruel attack? Did he have accomplices? Is he known to police in his area?

“And: How do we prevent these horrific shootings from happening? Do we once again shrug and just go on about things, pretending that it won’t happen again?

“We will know more in the days and weeks ahead, but for some, the weeks will be difficult, especially those who lost loved ones on Saturday. For them, family, friends and counselors may provide solace and support. They will need it. Buffalonians know how to provide it.

“For others, what is important is patience as police and prosecutors work through the evidence and push for whatever kind of justice is available. Whatever that may be, it won’t atone for what was done.”

Israeli Police Beat Mourners at Journalist’s Rites

Israeli police say they will hold an investigation ‘into the events that ensued during the funeral’ procession of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh on Friday,” Abeer Salman, Celine Alkhaldi and Colin McCullough reported Saturday for CNN.

“ ‘Unfortunately, during the course of the funeral, severe violent events unfolded on the part of those participating that worsened the situation on the ground,’ Israeli Minister of Public Security Omer Bar-Lev said in a statement to CNN.

“ ‘The investigative team appointed by Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai and headed by Brigadier General Anna Ben Mordechai – a seasoned commander who is familiar with the area in which the funeral took place – will hold a comprehensive investigation into what happened during the funeral over the next day, in order to produce lessons from the incident. These lessons will be presented to the police commissioner and then to me,’ he added.

“Israeli police came under criticism following Friday’s procession, in which television footage showed officers striking mourners with batons, forcibly taking down Palestinian flags, and arresting individuals carrying the flag. One video released by the Israeli police shows officers ripping Palestinian flags off the hearse carrying Abu Akleh’s coffin.

“The Jerusalem Magistrate Court ruled in September 2021 that flying the Palestinian flag is not a criminal offense in Israel. Nevertheless, CNN witnessed the arrest of at least two individuals carrying a flag during Abu Akleh’s procession. . . .”

L.A. Times’ Romero Now Rare Latina Sports Editor

Iliana Limón Romero (pictured) has been named assistant managing editor for Sports, reporting to Deputy Managing Editor Julia Turner,” Executive Editor Kevin Merida announced Thursday at the Los Angeles Times.

“In her new role, Limón Romero joins The Times masthead and becomes the first female sports editor in its history, and the only Latina sports editor at a major U.S. newspaper.

“Limón Romero, who joined the paper as deputy sports editor in 2021, has built bridges both within The Times newsroom and in the larger Southern California sports community. She has led initiatives to cover new spaces in new ways, beefing up the department’s investigative coverage, helping lead The Times’ successful cross-departmental Super Bowl LVI coverage and building major community-facing events that helped The Times reach new audiences. . . .”

In addition, Craig Nakano (pictured) “has been promoted to assistant managing editor for Entertainment and Arts, reporting to Deputy Managing Editor Julia Turner. In his new role, Nakano joins The Times masthead and will work closely with Turner to develop strategic plans for the further evolution of the newsroom’s culture coverage. He will be responsible for running its daily culture report and driving execution of new initiatives.

“Nakano, who has been with the Los Angeles Times since 2000, ran arts coverage for five years. . . .”

Bennett, Nawaz Expected to Co-Host ‘NewsHour’

If plans follow through as anticipated, Judy Woodruff will be succeeded as anchor of the “PBS NewsHour” by Amna Nawaz (pictured) and Geoff Bennett,” according to “two people familiar with the matter, Brian Steinberg reported Thursday for Variety.

“Official word, according to one of the people familiar with the matter, might not come until the fall.”

Steinberg also wrote, “Nawaz, a former ABC News correspondent, has been the primary substitute anchor of ‘NewsHour’ since 2018 and its chief correspondent since 2021.” She is Pakistani American.

“Bennett (pictured) joined the show as its chief Washington correspondent last year, and recently launched a retooled version of its weekend edition, which is now produced by WETA, the PBS Washington affiliate, rather than WNET, the New York station under whose auspices it launched. The move put both shows under the same production umbrella and makes them easier to manage.”

Bennett, 41, a onetime editor of the Maroon Tiger at Morehouse College, said at the Journal-isms Roundtable in February, “My era of journalists, we’re all sort of coming into our own at the same time. (video, with Bennett at 5:00)

Kenneth Moton and Rachel Scott over at ABC. Weijia Jiang at CBS. So I’m glad to be in that number, and,” he added, addressing the veteran journalists of color present, “we collectively have you folks to thank for knocking down doors to make our path a little easier. So I appreciate that.”

Lightfoot Criticized by Journalists of Color

In May of last year, Mayor Lori Lightfoot took a bold and controversial step to mark her first two years in office: She granted one-on-one interviews exclusively to reporters of color,Mariah Woelfel recalled April 21 for WBEZ in Chicago. “Lightfoot said her one-day policy was meant to draw attention to a lack of diversity in the city’s press corps, but critics called it a publicity stunt that deflected efforts to evaluate her performance in office.

“Nearly a year later, the press corps still does not fully reflect Chicago’s diversity. But some say the mayor hasn’t done her part to follow up on the issue. Numerous reporters of color say they continue to have limited-to-zero access to Lightfoot. An invitation to talk about the problem with at least one newsroom leader went unanswered. And, critics say the mayor has ignored an opportunity to push policies to financially support local newsrooms of color.

“A WBEZ analysis of Lightfoot’s schedule also shows that — excluding the one-day action — of 35 interviews with local outlets in the past year, only six were with organizations that represent people of color. She conducted 31 interviews with national or nonlocal outlets during the same timeframe, from May 2021 to mid-March. Five additional scheduled interview time slots did not specify an outlet.

“ ‘The follow-up after has not been good at all, and that’s what’s left a sour taste in my mouth,’ said Brandon Pope (pictured), president of the Chicago chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists. ‘And honestly, it kind of sours the entire thing, because it does feel like a stunt. And it does feel like we were used for political props’. . . .”

Democrats Plan Media Campaign Targeting Latinos

Democrats are making a seven-figure investment to reach Latino voters ahead of the midterm elections, which they are touting as a ‘historic’ early expenditure,Suzanne Gamboa reported Tuesday for NBC News.

“The Democratic National Committee is launching a paid media campaign of radio and print advertisements in English and Spanish in Latino-rich states. The ads are part of a Latino initiative the committee dubbed Adelante, which translates to ‘forward.’

“The party announced the spending first to NBC News.

“The ads are to run in Texas, Florida, Nevada, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Parties rarely divulge exact spending for competitive reasons.

“ ‘The DNC has never done this, this early on and this robust of a figure for investment in Latino messaging and Latino outreach during a midterm election,’ Maria Cardona, a consultant to the committee, said.

“She said the spending was ‘presidential level’ for spending on Latinos.

“Democrats got a national shock in the 2020 presidential election from Latinos who voted at higher percentages for Republicans than in other years. . . .”

6 Million Adults Identify as Afro Latino

About 6 million adults in the United States identify as Afro Latino, a distinction with deep roots in colonial Latin America, according to a new report by Pew Research Center,Cheyanne Mumphrey and Anita Snow reported May 3 for the Associated Press. “That’s about 2% of the adult U.S. population and 12% of the country’s adult Latino population.

“The center released its latest report on Afro Latino identity Monday, revealing the multiple dimensions of Latino identity.

Afro Latinos’ life experiences are shaped by factors including race and skin tone in ways that differ from other Hispanics. Most but not all identify as Hispanic or Latino, the survey found. . . . “

The National Association of Hispanic Journalists last year established a task force on Afro Latinos, co-chaired by Yvonne Latty of New York University (headed to Temple), a past board member, and Keldy Ortiz, a reporter at Newsday who is NAHJ’s national financial officer. Both have Dominican backgrounds.

At an NAHJ board meeting May 7, President Nora Lopez said the organization had about 4,100 members, and “probably 100” identify as Afro Latino.

MediaTakeOut’s Fred Mwangaguhunga, left, and ABC’s Eric Jones are changing the face of media, Forbes said.

Forbes Contrasts Two Black Media Men

” ‘Race and culture is the intersection where news happens,’ said Eric Jones, senior producer for race and culture at Good Morning America, the U.S.’ highest-rated morning news program,” Richard Fowler wrote April 21 for Forbes under the headline, “Different Roles, Same Goal: Two Black Men’s Quest To Change The Media Landscape.”

“Since the heinous murder of George Floyd and the racial reckoning that followed, more and more Americans have been craving accurate, equitable news coverage. Eric Jones and MediaTakeOut’s Fred Mwangaguhunga have become critical voices in the mission to make the coverage for and of Black America more accurate, fair, and balanced.

“For decades, the mainstream media’s perception of Black America, and Black men in particular, has been based on misinformation, overzealous reporting, and misconceptions that have resulted in bias, societal misunderstandings, and far too many fatal interactions. Within that context, Mwangaguhunga and Jones use their influence, skill, and understanding to catalyze change in an American media landscape that continues to search for a proper equilibrium in newsroom diversity and accurate news coverage. . . .”

African Journalist Disrupts White House Briefing

White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s final briefing with reporters went off the rails Friday after one reporter repeatedly shouted a question about fair access in the room,” Callie Patteson and Steven Nelson reported Friday for the New York Post.

“As Psaki began to take questions — after fighting back tears as she thanked members of the administration and the press corps — Simon Ateba (pictured), the chief White House correspondent for Today News Africa, was heard yelling from the back of the press briefing room.

“ ‘Why don’t you take questions from across the room?” Ateba asked as Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller attempted to get things started with a query about the ongoing baby formula shortage.

“Why don’t you take questions from across the room? Because that’s not what you’ve done for the past 15 months,’ Ateba shouted again.

“Psaki was not initially fazed by Ateba’s lack of decorum. However, the reporter shouted over his colleagues again minutes later.

“ ‘Jen, can I ask you a question from the back?’ he was heard saying. ‘Jen, can I ask you a question from the back?’

“As Ateba continued to speak over reporters in the front row who attempted to question Psaki, NPR’s Tamara Keith turned around and urged him to desist.

“ ‘Simon, please, stop,’ she said.

“Ateba did not oblige and continued to shout over other reporters in the room, until Psaki finally turned to him to say, ‘Simon, if you can respect your colleagues and other media and reporters in here, that would be greatly appreciated.’

Patteson and Nelson also wrote, “Since covering the Biden administration, Ateba has frequently sparred with Psaki — going as far to accuse her of lying about coronavirus-related travel restrictions in December. . . .

“The same month, Ateba accused the restrictions of being ‘racist’ as they targeted southern African countries. The African journalist also has a history of interrupting briefing guests, including Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci. . . .”

‘Being Black in Canada,’ and ‘In the Prairies’

“Being Black in Canada is a website featuring the stories and experiences of Black Canadians, highlighting narratives that matter to Black communities including relevant news pieces, individual successes, and historical content,” messages Kerry Kelly, a spokesperson for Canadian Broadcasting Corp., in response to an inquiry.

“Now live at CBC News | Being Black in Canada, the site showcases profiles, opinion pieces, video, audio, and a wide breadth of content across all areas of CBC including news, documentaries, arts and other programming.

“This site is curated from our News Dep’t and pulls from stories shared across all of our platforms and regions. Here is some more info on the site.

“Recently we also launched Being Black in the Prairies, which is based on the same premise and led by CBC Saskatoon journalist Omayra Issa, and CBC radio host Ify Chiwetelu. This project explores the history and present lives of Black people on the Prairies.

Here is some more information on that project.
