The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) said Tuesday that it would place CNN on a "special media monitoring list," citing a lack of black representation among the network's leadership ranks.
NABJ said in a statement that its preliminary research showed that CNN has no black employees reporting to CNN President Jeff Zucker. It also showed that the news organization has no black executive producers as well as no black vice presidents or senior vice presidents on the news side.
NABJ said its next step will include further research and analysis on CNN's "diversity, inclusion and equity practices." The group also said it is calling for a "civil rights audit" to examine CNN's "hiring, promotion and compensation practices involving black employees."
