TV News' 10 Most Powerful

FIRST ON Twitter.com/JeffParsons.com
So,,, the new list is out of TV News' 10 Most Powerful from TelevisionWeek. I'll save you the trouble of reading through the list. It's the same 'ol same 'ol.... leaders of NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, etc. More interestingly though is that barring the brief glossing over of Univision in the list, the minority voice is barely represented. It is not the problem of Television Week. It's our industry. Pale, conservative males sit at the top.

Here's the list. Read more at TVWeek.
