“Thank you for your 5 years. Thank you for your love for community” says a guest to news anchor @LesRangelonFox7 who has decided to move on from @fox7austin. She made sure #POC were part of her show. “It was important to me that you & others who look us are here.” #LocalNews

I often share this story with journalism students when I guest lecture. I wrote an essay in early 2019, hoping to get in published in the NYT Modern Love column. I sent it in, but they passed and I was crushed. I really believed in this essay . . . 🧵

Important thread. St. Louis TV station used the word 'colored.' What is @KMOV doing to prevent this from happening again? SPJ member @HollyEdgell brings up good points.
2 Mar 2024
Say what now? A @KMOV (St. Louis) anchor used the word of 'colored' on the air. This is the local CBS affiliate, owned by @GrayTelevision. The news director is @SDienerNews. The anchor is @CoryStarkKMOV. 1/3 nabjonline.org/blog/nabj-app…
