But Gilliam and other advocates worry that news organizations are losing ground in the area of newsroom diversity, especially at this time when people of color, women and LGBTQ individuals are raising their voices and challenging old assumptions about what it means to be an American. “The more you have different communities represented and have people in leadership who can speak to what is going on, the stronger the news media will be,” Gilliam says.
About US talked with Gilliam about the state of black women in journalism and what it takes to hold news organizations accountable for hiring more of them.Gilliam: The inside and outside merged sometimes in the newsroom, because I could have a pleasant conversation with a colleague in the newsroom, but if I saw that colleague on the street, they might ignore me or act like they didn’t know me.
Gilliam: I find it disheartening. I think it's very important to have people of color in leadership positions as well as women. You need that kind of internal leadership to help make things really move forward.
