Last Black reporter gone
http://mije.org/richardprince/whiteness-top-part-ii
Paper in Newport News Lays Off Last Black Reporters In Newport News, Va., a city that is 41.3 percent black, the latest round of layoffs at the Tribune Co.-owned Daily Press has left the newspaper with no black reporters. The casualties were David Squires, 50, a veteran of several news organizations who had been a Daily Press sports columnist and then an urban affairs reporter, and Jason Jordan, 27, a sportswriter.

Re: Last Black reporter gone
This is somewhat surprising considering the demographics in the Hampton Roads area.
I wish David Squires and Jason Jordan the best of luck with their future endeavors. Jason did a great job with Girls basketball. David’s columns were insightful and he wrote about urban issues that were relevant to most of the population.

Re: Last Black reporter gone
Hope both those guys land on their feet - their contributions to the paper will be missed!

Re: Last Black reporter gone
I had the pleasure of meeting and befriending both David and Jason last year during the football season. I must say I will miss them both greatly. David always had a great "history story" to share with us on the sidelines and Jason was just pure fun to be around. I will certainly miss seeing these two gentleman on the sideline this year. Two outstanding men. This truly saddens me to hear of their unfortunate situation. Best of luck guys....
