The Tampa Tribune quotes Poynter's Keith Woods:
"The percentage of all journalists of color dropped from 13.5 percent in 2007 to 13.4 percent in 2008.
'The public should take a signal from that schedule,' said Keith Woods, Dean of Faculty at The Poynter Institute, a school for journalists in St. Petersburg. 'It should remind the public how important mainstream journalism continues to be and how in peril it is.' "
