I suggest Dori Maynard, CEO of the Maynard Institute for Journalism Education. MIJE has been working successfully in the affirmative action field for 25 years, training and supplying people of color to newsrooms all over the country. It is emblematic of a partnership approach with the industry that has proven affirmative action can work---thousands of its graduates are positioned in key news jobs, many serving as management. Dori is articulate, rational and informed, as her recent op-ed piece in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle demonstrates (you can read it on the Maynard website under "Columns"  www.maynardije.org)
