Definition

  • Although the 1968 Kerner Commission report was not the first criticism of mainstream news media for failing to fairly report on African Americans, it has endured as a benchmark for measuring diversity progress. Officially the Report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, but informally cited as the Kerner report after its chairman, Illinois governor Otto Kerner, it partly blamed the news media for the riots that exploded in American urban centers during the summer of 1967 and reprimanded the press for its lack of diversity in both news coverage and newsroom employment.
