The Greater Cincinnati Association of Black Journalists has requested a meeting with WKRC-TV management about the lack of diversity in the Local 12 newsroom.
The GCABJ went public with the issue Monday, five days after initially contacting General Manager Jon Lawhead and News Director Tim Geraghty.
The Black journalists group was reacting to WKRC-TV s social media salute last week on International Women s Day with photos of the 13 ladies of Local 12 News, none of whom are Black. Channel 12 is the only TV station in town without any on-air Black female reporters or anchors. Newsrooms are supposed to reflect the demographics of the community they cover. In a city that s approximately 42 percent Black, and there s no Black women on the staff, it is concerning, says Shaun Elliott, a WLWT-TV videographer who is GCABJ vice president.

“I am delighted for this opportunity to offer congratulations to women of all walks of life on March 8, the day designated as
International Women’s Day (IWD) 2021. Since 1911, IWD has been that day annually when we celebrate and recognise, on a worldwide basis, women’s achievements – historical, social, familial, cultural, economic and political.
“Raising awareness of women’s issues – particularly related to equality, and lobbying for increased gender parity, are also core objectives of IWD. And rightly so. IWD colours are purple (for justice and dignity), green (for hope), and white (for purity).

“In response to the serious impact of COVID-19 on women’s employment, Latin American and Caribbean countries should redouble efforts to achieve women’s full participation in the economy and the world of work”
by Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean
“The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all aspects of people’s lives. Clearly, no one has escaped its effects, which unfortunately for many people have been dramatic.
“The economic consequences of this crisis have not been the same for everyone, however. The most recent World Bank studies reveal that working women in Latin America and the Caribbean, the region hardest hit by the pandemic, have borne the brunt of these consequences. Compared to men, women had greater job insecurity, lower income and, consequently, less financial independence.
