I did read a variety of news sources, however, once I saw this thread. The woman mayor was trying to promote reporters of color, since there were virtually no black reporters in Chicago. It wasn't the press conferences she was referring to, it was only the one on one interviews, that EVERY politician chooses to do on one to ones. I'm surprised this thread is still up.

Whose fault is it that there are "virtually no black reporters in Chicago"? Could it be that no one
wants to be a "black reporter in Chicago"? There are scholarships and financial aid for anyone who's qualified (grade-wise) to go to college and major in broadcasting and/or journalism and become a "black reporter in Chicago". Why does this kind of thing always have to be a racial issue? People of any color/race who want to succeed can do so with determination. If Lightfoot really wanted to help black citizens, she would be finding ways to encourage black youth to develop goals and finding ways to help them achieve those goals. Her time would be better spent being constructive rather than destructive.
