Courtesy Dayton247Now 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.

Greater Cincinnati Black Journalists Concerned About Local 12 News Lack Of Diversity

John Kiesewetter 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.
