Have any of us ever heard of Latoyia Figueroa?

Excellent article by Miguel De La Torre at Ethics Daily.com highlighting the segregation of the media and its almost total caucasian bias.

Journalism today is one of the nation’s most segregated professions. According to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, only 5 percent of reporters are black while 45 percent of this nation’s newsrooms have no person of color.

He tactfully introduces the article by comparing the handling of the Natalee Holloway case versus another disappearance at the same time, that of Latoyia Figueroa. I personally would add that the media's obsession with the Holloway case is probably hightened even more by the fact that her alleged obductors are persons of color.
