Journalism schools stop perpetuating the status quo “Too many young journalists who have managed to find a way into the news business are getting chewed up and spit out too soon, feeling isolated and burned out. The rate of survival in journalism is too low.” Courageous professional journalists of color and their allies have for years called out news organizations for their workforce homogeneity and prevalent culture that ignores, undervalues, and/or stereotypes marginalized communities. Journalism students have joined this fight. In 2020, we saw numerous examples of students taking a stand. Forty-three student journalists quit the NYU student newspaper after a racially charged clash with their academic adviser. At Arizona State University’s journalism school, a newly hired dean had her job offer rescinded after two dozen of her former journalism students told ASU’s student newspaper that she engaged in behavior they found racist and discriminatory. College students at many universities, including my own, have been publicly cataloging moments of racist micro/macro-aggressions and displays of white privilege from their professors.
