About the Work

The article discuss the lack of diversity in Journalism and why because of that journalism has failed. The implications of the media’s representation problem could not be more clear. As race emerged as a central theme of the 2016 elections, crucial decisions about coverage were being made in institutions employing few of the people Donald Trump maligned. Euphemisms appeared when unblinking assessments of racism and religious bigotry were warranted. Debates over the role of race in political coverage remain deeply predictable and dispiriting—as in the story of crime in the Bronx, where white journalists dominate, the most familiar and comfortable narratives hold sway. To communicate this in a simple visual, the solution came with the most important tool for a journalist: a pencil. Using the color of the pencil as a bridge to depict and quantify this lack on diversity inside the newsrooms.
