The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is urging CNN to issue credentials to local Black Press in Atlanta to cover Thursday’s presidential debate.
NABJ said in a statement on Thursday the network told it more than 800 journalists from around the world will be covering the debate onsite, noting the application for credentials closed on June 7 and it could not accept additional requests after this date due to size and security restraints.
“No matter the reason the local Black Press was not approved, in regard to guidelines, we are asking CNN to create space to ensure fair and balanced coverage so that all citizens have access to real-time content from the debate,” the group said.
