"Of all the large news organizations that are struggling for footing in the digital media reality, CNN has invested in covering people of color in the U.S. at a time where the Black presence on cable and network news outlets is limited to the occasional on-air talent. It’s not just about the color, we want to focus on issues that simply have been under-covered,” says CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O’Brien.
O'Brien leads a CNN unit called “In America,” that produces documentaries like Black in America and Latino in America.
“I think that if our unit can be successful, and I mean critical success, rating success and with viewers. I think that if you do well, audiences will look and say, ‘Gee, I didn’t really think about it before.'"
