TONIGHT: Made Local with Liann Tsoukas & Rob Ruck! 

Join us at Carnegie Library Lecture Hall at 6 p.m. for a discussion with Liann Tsoukas and Rob Ruck, coauthors of MAL GOODE REPORTING. Doors open at 5:15. 

“At ABC, Mal continued his lifelong campaign to tear down the walls blocking Black Americans and fought to make media reflect America's diversity. He made progress on both, but those battles were uphill. Black media professionals continue to cross bridges into newsrooms across the nation, communicating a textured portrayal of America's complicated truths while shaping the industry. Mal's unshakeable dedication, advocacy, and mentorship was at the foundation of those bridges." —MAL GOODE REPORTING: THE LIFE AND WORK OF A BLACK BROADCAST TRAILBLAZER

Pittsburgh’s own Mal Goode (1908–1995) became network news’s first African American correspondent when ABC News hired him in 1962. Goode was uncompromising in his belief that network news needed Black voices and perspectives if it were to authentically reflect the nation’s complexities. His success at ABC initiated the slow integration of network news.
