In some instances, small increases can signal big gains--a one- or two-point increase on the ACT, a mere quarter-point increase in interest rates. Yet, in the instance of newsroom diversity, a half a percentage point boost offers little to celebrate. According to the 2004 survey, minorities account for 10.5 percent of all supervisors, up slightly from 9.9 percent in 2003. As well, 20 percent of all minorities are supervisors, up from 19 percent in 2003. While Hispanics, Asians and American Indians all experienced an increase of 1 percentage point in the number of supervisors, African Americans experienced a 1-percentage point decline. According to the survey, nearly 1 out of 5 Black journalists are supervisors, 572 out of 2,938. In 2003, however, the survey reported there were 587 supervisors. The slight gain in supervisory positions among Hispanics, Asians and American Indians, though encouraging, still brought attention to the overall underrepresentation. This document briefly analyzes the underrpresentation.
