A little more than three years ago, Westword used the departures of then-Denver television newscasters Drew Soicher, Kyle Dyer, Kirk Montgomery, Gregg Moss, Susie Wargin, Molly Hughes and Ed Greene to put together a career Deadpool list of personalities whose expensive contracts could make them expendable. As it turned out, Westword went 1-14:

• Kim Christiansen – Still at 9News
• Kyle Clark – Still at 9News
• Kathy Sabine – Still at 9News
• Rod Mackey – Still at 9News
• Gary Shapiro – Still at 9News
• Anne Trujillo – Still at 7News
• Mitch Jelniker – Left 7News
• Mike Nelson – Still at 7News
• Lionel Bienvenue – Still at 7News
• Alan Gionet – Still at CBS4
• Jim Benemann – Still at CBS4
• Karen Leigh – Still at CBS4
• Kathy Walsh – Still at CBS4
• Dave Fraser – Still at Fox31
• Jeremy Hubbard – Still at Fox31

Paul Farhi and Sarah Ellison at The Washington Post:

“Like the nation itself, news organizations across the country are facing a racial reckoning, spurred by protests from their own journalists over portrayals of minority communities and the historically unequal treatment of nonwhite colleagues.” …

“The newsroom uprisings are partially about the lack of minority employees in key jobs and leadership positions — but also about how stories about race are reported and framed, and who gets to do the reporting and framing. Some argue that mainstream news organizations are long overdue for a cultural change.”
