Mitchell: "I didn't get this job because I'm some black guy"

Poynter's St. Petersburg Times
Eric Deggans asks Russ Mitchell whether his appointment as news anchor at CBS's "Early Show" signals that the network is concerned about diversity. His reply: "I've been doing this for 25 years, and there comes a point in your career where you hope your credentials speak for themselves. I'm not some 25-year-old kid fresh from school ...And I didn't get this job because I'm some black guy." DEGGANS NOTES: The death of Ed Bradley means that "60 Minutes" will not feature a regular correspondent of color for the first time in 25 years.
