White House correspondent April D. Ryan called out Trump over his attacks of black journalists when he was president.
Donald Trump has been invited to appear at National Association of Black Journalists ’ annual convention in Chicago on Wednesday, and some of the nation’s top black journos are furious. Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah even stepped down as co-chair of the convention after the move.Trump is expected on opening day to participate in a “special conversation” with moderators Harris Faulkner of Fox News, ABC News’ Rachel Scott and Semafor’s Kadia Goba.
It’s become a hot topic on social media with several prominent journos and longtime members of the association saying they’re frustrated with the NABJ’s decision to provide a platform for the former president.
Pulitzer Prize nominee and past NABJ award winner Carron J. Phillips wrote on X, “This is the single dumbest and worst decision in NABJ history. Whoever made this call is an idiot. And I’ll say it to their face this week.”Tia Mitchell of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution responded to Phillips, revealing that she was a part of the decision to host Trump.
“While my decision was influenced by a variety of factors, I was not involved or consulted with in any way with the decision to platform Trump in such a format,” she wrote.The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill wrote: “As journalists, we can never be afraid to tackle someone like Trump… Mainstream media keeps trying to convince us that he actually is gaining support among Black people. Let’s see if it’s true.
