NABJ President Dorothy Tucker Addresses KOCO-TV Anchor Comparing Black Co-Anchor to Gorilla

“NABJ has already reached out to Hearst, the owners of KOCO-TV in Oklahoma, City, and we are preparing to take steps that will not only help the television station but the industry as a whole reduce the likelihood of such egregious incidents. Upon reviewing the footage, several other issues were immediately noticed in the subsequent apology that requires urgent attention. We will have more regarding this incident and others in the coming days and have offered NABJ as a resource to help eradicate these issues.” – Dorothy Tucker, NABJ President
