In the report’s section, The Communications Media, Ironically, Have Failed to Communicate, the Commission charged “that the news media have failed to analyze and report adequately on racial problems in the United States and, as a related matter, to meet the Negro’s legitimate expectations of journalism.” We will examine the fits and starts in American media that followed this harsh assessment through the last century right up to the public editorial apology on September 27, 2020 by the Los Angeles Times for its coverage of Black and Latino Angelenos. The editorial read that The Times “often displayed at best a blind spot, at worst an outright hostility, for the city’s nonwhite population, one both rooted and reflected in a shortage of Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian and other people of color in its newsroom.” Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior, Senior, or Graduate class standing.
