Black Journalist Group Blasts ESPN over Taylor-Nichols Flap, Wants Meeting with Disney Execs
7 Jul 2021
The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) has blasted ESPN for their “silence and apparent inaction” in response to the controversy surrounding the leaked audio of white reporter Rachel Nichols saying that black reporter Maria Taylor only got her job for “diversity reasons.”
Now, the NABJ says they want to meet with Taylor and Nichols’ bosses at Disney.
On Sunday, the
New York Times revealed the shocking details of an inadvertently recorded phone call between Nichols and LeBron James’ public relations adviser Adam Mendelsohn. In the call, Nichols laments that Taylor is being advanced into a prominent role in ESPN’s NBA Finals coverage (a role Nichols felt was contractually hers) because the network is trying to enhance the diversity of the broadcast.
