A Chicago television station is under fire for editing the video of an African-American youth to make it appear that the 4-year-old was advocating gun violence when he clearly stated during the interview that he wanted a gun because his ambition is to be a police officer.   


The CBS station, WBBM, is being blasted by civil rights leaders and news media professionals for taking the youth’s statements out of context, violating the basics of journalism ethics.
  


  

 



  
  	    

      Hours Before Rally to Restore Sanity: A Moment Less Than Sane
    

  
  
      

      
          

  
  

	      

The Maynard Institute’s Fault Line Framework is a diversity tool that teaches people to talk to each other with the goal of understanding. Dori J. Maynard, who has been refining the framework, will write a regular feature about living on the Fault Lines. This is her first entry. 


A few hours before the recent Rally to Restore Sanity, the general  manager of a Hampton Inn in Washington, D.C. kicked me out of his hotel,  forcing me to stand on the street to wait for my colleague in 39-degree  weather.

Nancy Hicks Maynard, a foresighted pioneer in newsroom diversity and a former co-publisher of the Oakland Tribune, died September 21, 2008 in Los Angeles after a prolonged illness. She was 61.



Her death resulted from the intertwined failure of several major organs, her family said.

Charles GrahamWhat do you look for in the next mayor of Jackson? What should be his or her priorities?


As Jackson’s mayoral election is only about a week away, I ask myself  this question and then try to give an intelligent answer. There are 13  candidates; four are women. A crowded field of candidates tells me that  something is terribly wrong at city hall. As one of my colleagues said,  “there are a lot of candidates who think they can do a better job.”
