Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–August 5, 2016. At the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists’ Joint Conference in Washington, D.C. on Friday, Hillary Clinton paid tribute to the reporters ensuring our press corps reflect our country’s diversity. Clinton discussed her commitment to greater African-American and Latino economic opportunity, which includes significant new investments to create more good-paying jobs, targeted approaches like Congressman Clyburn’s 10-20-30 plan, criminal justice reform, and comprehensive immigration reform. Clinton also called out Donald Trump for empowering bigotry during the 2016 campaign, saying “We need to stand up as a country, and say Donald Trump doesn’t represent who we are and what we believe […] Many of you are showing the way. It’s a badge of honor when Jorge Ramos gets thrown out of a press conference for challenging Donald Trump. Or when another news organization gets banned for reporting what he says. As Jorge said, the best journalism happens when you take a stand, when you denounce injustice.”
