The worst and most obviously partisan member of the White House press pool Yamiche Alcindor received yet another journalism award from her peers in the corporate media.
The Esserman-Knight Excellence in Journalism Award was bestowed upon Alcindor this week for “her coverage exploring the intersection of race and politics.” According to the award’s website, Alcindor’s ability to cover “a range of issues including the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on black people and communities of color, the protests following the death of George Floyd, and the consequences of former President Trump’s immigration policies” qualifies her “distinguished service” to be celebrated and advanced in the media world.

And then there were two.
With the departure of reporter Walter Smith-Randolph, WKRC-TV has only two Black journalists on newscasts, anchors John Lomax and Kyle Inskeep.
But help is on the way at Channel 12, which was publicly criticized by the Greater Cincinnati Association of Black Journalists two months ago, while two Black journalists at WCPO-TV are being promoted to weekend
Good Morning Tri-State newscasts.
Channel 12 has hired Dayton reporter-weekend anchor Courtney Wheaton from Sinclair sister stations WKEF-TV and WRGT-TV. Wheaton, president of the Dayton chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists, will start as a reporter here June 1, after the May ratings sweeps end, says Jon Lawhead, Channel 12 general manager.

US television network NBC has announced it would drop its broadcast of the Golden Globes ceremony in 2022 after a Hollywood backlash over the ethics of the group that hands out the annual awards for film and television and its lack of diversity.
Actor Tom Cruise joined a revolt led by streaming platforms and studios, returning the three Golden Globes he won for his roles in Jerry Maguire, Magnolia and Born on the Fourth of July, industry media outlets Variety and Deadline Hollywood reported.
NBC’s announcement of its decision on Monday came even after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which hands out the awards, agreed to recruit more Black members and make other changes over the next 18 months. The network had initially welcomed the plan but later said it would wait to see if the reforms worked.
