Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, Black women have taken on pioneering management roles in television newsrooms across the country. The women were, and still are, bold, brave and unwilling to yield to the status quo. Dr. Ava Thompson Greenwell opens the door to the ugliness of racial animus that greeted them as they climbed the ranks. In raw, soul-baring interviews Dr. Greenwell documents the toll racism and gender bias have taken on their professional and personal lives and she documents these women's strategies to overcome while demanding that their voices and lived experiences be more fairly represented in news coverage. Lyne Pitts, former NBC News Vice President, former CBS News Executive Producer Dr. Greenwell's labor of love, Ladies Leading: The Black Women Who Control Television News reveals how the tentacles of White Supremacy operate in newsroom culture. This book contributes to several fields of study. She highlights the continued struggle and triumphs of Black women leaders of journalism in newsrooms across the country. Most of us want to forever see the year 2020 in our rearview mirrors - never to be repeated. We have witnessed Black genocide, anti-Black racist micro-aggressions, overt racism, epic attacks on press freedoms, and deadly weather events - all during a global pandemic. Dr. Libby Lewis, is Professor of Media Studies, Communications, Sociology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Pan African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. Dr. Lewis is the Author of The Myth of Post-Racialism in Television News (c2016).
