We need to ensure that networks provide minorities and women with employment opportunities that increase their numbers not only in front of the camera, but also in decision-making positions behind the camera. We must work in collaboration with colleges and universities to offer training, mentoring, internship, and scholarship programs that encourage minorities and women to pursue careers in the media.” “Millions of people depend on national cable news for information on our nation and our world,” said Congressman Joe Baca, Chair of the CHC. “These studies show a troubling trend about the lack of gender, racial, and ethnic diversity in our news. Now that the Hispanic community has grown to become the largest minority, this trend becomes even more alarming. News executives have a responsibility to assure that diversity has a home in their newsrooms and in their programming, and I will work with my colleagues in the TriCaucus to help news networks rise to this challenge.” "I commend Media Matters for America for producing its recent reports on diversity on broadcast and cable news programs," said Congressman Mike Honda (CA-15), Chair of CAPAC .
