‘This Is Hope 2.0′: Roland S. Martin on the DNC’s Embrace of Alternative News Outlets, Kamala Harris’ Moment and Fighting Misinformation
Standing in the middle of the Media Row section at the United Center, veteran journalist Roland S. Martin made a bold statement on the first night of the Democratic National Convention.
His “Roland Martin Unfiltered” daily talk show series had been humming for hours, shooting one-on-ones and roundtable interviews from a makeshift studio perched in a well-trafficked corner of the area cordoned off for broadcast and digital outlets that aren’t named CBS, ABC, NBC/MSNBC, Fox News, PBS and CNN.
“I dare say that today alone I have had more African Americans on our broadcast than you’re going to see on MSNBC, CNN and Fox News combined for the week,” Martin told Variety. “That’s in one day. And it’s not just the same voices. That’s why our voices matter, because we are providing a perspective. Every speaker on that stage who’s Black — we go live to them.
