African Americans in the News: Celebrating News People
African Americans are making huge strides in the news scene and it’s time we celebrated their accomplishments. Here is a list of our favorite African American newspeople with a few surprises and some old favorites. From http://www.direct.tv to basic cable, African Americans are making strides!
Oprah: No list of influential African Americans would be complete without a mention of Oprah. With her show going off the air soon and an entire cable network dedicated to her endeavors, it’s no wonder the queen of talk has accomplished so much in her 30 years on television, news and otherwise.
Robin Roberts: Roberts anchors Good Morning America on ABC and she manages to be funny, serious and entertaining, all before 9 am. With a great head for special interest pieces Roberts is a news anchor you can trust…who you also want to grab coffee with.
Deborah Roberts: Known best for her hard hitting journalistic pieces on network TV, Roberts (no relation to Robin) is married to famed weatherman Al Roker. She always has the facts and a keen interview sense and watching her present live is a work of art.
You go, girls!
