Bush tells Black Voters: "Just Don't Focus on Florida, I'll Talk to the Governor Down There to Make Sure it Works"
The Unity conference wrapped up this weekend in Washington DC. It was the largest conference of journalists in US history. The event was organized by the four journalists of color organizations: the National Association of Black Journalists, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the Asian-American Journalists Association and the Native American Journalists Association. More than 7,500 journalists participated in the convention. At the conference, Unity released the results of a survey it conducted with the University of Maryland"s Philip Merrill College of Journalism that shows that only one in 10 writers, editors and bureau chiefs in the Washington daily newspaper press corps are journalists of color. While journalists of color are rarely in a position to question president Bush at his rare press conferences, a handful of journalists had a chance to question him on Friday
