Want to see more people of color on the news as health experts? Here& #39;s how. A primer.

1. Visible social media posts often lead to journalist inquiries. So for the same info, take a moment to tweet from diverse sources. https://twitter.com/RealCedricDark/status/1247613329700511745">https://twitter.com/RealCedri...

2. In order to do (1), you need to be following folks. The people @RealCedricDark just tagged are a good start. Then follow who they follow. I& #39;ll add @RJWarrior @mclemoremr @DraCoquiMD @NickVasquezMD @AdairaLandryMD @LashNolen @KellyMotadelMD

3. People highlighted in articles also get media attention. If you& #39;re on the writing end, look at your sources and see who is represented.

4. Likewise, if you are writing stuff and need a co-author, consider who you are writing with.

5. If you are on air, you are interacting with producers. Producers are ALWAYS looking for people. Slip them a few names. There& #39;s plenty of oxygen to be a good ally. There always is.

6. Viewership drives return guests. Support the HECK out of the few non-white medical folks up there, watch their stuff, share their links & videos. Studios may feel (subconsciously or not) that diversifying the pool is a risky move. Let& #39;s make it definitively the right move.
