Over the past year, the News
has hired approximately 40 new
professional staffers; only one of
these 40 was black. To add insult
to injury, a number of awardwinning
black veteran reporters
has applied to the News and been
rejected.
The News says its decisions
about assignments or promotions
are protected by the First Amendment,
which guarantees freecfom
of the press.

the Newspaper Guild's City-Wide
Human Rights Committee, offers
this retort: 44What the Daily
New? is really saying is that they
have a right to discriminate ...
and this is coming from a paper
which is largely supported by
blacks in the city, through sales
and advertising dollars."
Certainly the Daily News, like
the Post has taken its "right" to
. discriminate to heart. There is no
black at a management level at
the News. In fact, out of a total
professional staff of 350, only 15
are black.
