NABJ Convention: Keisha Lance Bottoms, Brad Raffensperger and Stephen A. Smith’s Thumbs Down

Tia Mitchell and UATL senior editor Ernie Suggs recap a newsmaking National Association of Black Journalists convention in Atlanta, including appearances by gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. They weigh Bottoms’ approach to the governor’s race and Raffensperger’s decision not to endorse Senate nominee Mike Collins. They also dig into NABJ’s decision to give thumbs-down awards to five people and organizations, including ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith, and what the move says about the organization’s role in protecting Black journalists. Have a question or comment for the show?
