As the national conversation around race spurs change across the country, she joined Errol to talk about the fight for diversity in her newsroom and at other news outlets. She also talked about how news organizations are changing the way they cover race and the philosophy behind editorial decisions at “The Takeaway.” And she discussed about how she charted her path in journalism, from a childhood in public housing to working at some of the top media companies in the industry.
