The biggest issue in journalism these days isn& #39;t bias. It& #39;s the lack of diversity. Newsrooms these days skew towards upper-class whites. I think the South Carolina primary shined a light on this issue. I still remember how surprised most reporters were by Biden& #39;s landslide win.

Reading the reactions from some reporters on Twitter, you would have thought that Biden& #39;s SC victory was an upset. If we had more reporters who looked like the voters in SC who handed Biden that landslide win, maybe it wouldn& #39;t have caught so many reporters by surprise.

One of the benefits of coming from an upper-class family is having the connections and the money to pursue careers like journalism. This is part of why I think it& #39;s so hard for minorities to enter this field. Let& #39;s face it: most of them don& #39;t have the connections or the money.
