Tavis Smiley Begins Second Season
Puts focus on new
journalists of color
(AP) — As Tavis Smiley begins the second
season of his PBS talk show, his guest list isn’t
lacking for high-profile personalities.
In the first week alone, actors John Travolta.
Don Cheadle and Kevin Bacon, documentary
filmmaker Ken Bums and writer Christopher
Hitchens are among those scheduled on “Tavis
Smiley.”
But for Smiley, the public television series
each Friday is just one forum - and. to hear him tell
it, maybe not even the most important.
Spurred in part by his new relationship with
Texas Southern University, where he helped fund
a new media studies center, Smiley said he in­
tends to focus on journalism students and what
he can teach them.
Part of the lesson, he said, is to prepare for a
changing society.

"Somebody has got to talk to this next genera­
tion of journalists to let them know of the respon­
sibility they have in this multicultural, multiracial,
multiethnic America,” he said.
In a competitive world "they’ve got to have
relationships and appreciation for communities of
color and people who live there,” Smiley said.
That insight is lacking in the news and enter­
tainment industries, he contends, as exemplified
by the hiring of Brian Williams andCraig Ferguson,
two white men, to replace two other white men
(anchor Tom Brokaw and talk-show host Craig
Kilborn, respectively).
The failure to seriously consider and hire women
or minorities for such jobs is “wanton hubris,” he
argued, and something that will ultimately prove
costly.
"Television programmers will eventually see
the light or feel the heat. Clearly, many of them are
going to have to feel the heat” of shrinking
viewership in an increasingly diverse America,
Smiley said.
