Lady O Interviews Charles Robinson III of NABJ

Charles Robinson III is a Candidate for President of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Why is he running? In his words: Our next president must be a visionary with respect for the past who moves quickly and easily from ideas to action. The landscape has changed. We must be in newsrooms, in start ups, and at the cutting edge of journalism. I’m prepared to take us to the next phase with a keen eye to what is tangible and possible. We must strive to understand our place in this changing landscape while making sure media entities uphold diversity. As a member of the NABJ Board of the Directors, we faced a financial crisis last year. The prudent actions we took to help stabilize the organization weren’t easy. I can’t take personal credit, but collectively as a group we made the tough decisions knowing the implications. On my watch we will never face a debacle of this nature.
