Diversity at SI

[broadway joe]

Jeff Chadiha is leaving SI for ESPN, leaving only one African-American among the magazine's senior writers. Thoughts?

Who cares?

 

[shockey]

good for jeff, one of the truly good guys. 8)

 

[KnuteRockne]

OK, so they've still got the new guy who used to cover the Redskins (name escapes me), Greenfield, Phil Taylor and Michael Silver (on the inside).

 

[Mizzougrad96]

They should hire Scoop Jackson... :)

 

[Mizzougrad96]

They should hire Whitlock to fill the Rushin seat...

Although, I'm guessing SI can't afford Whitlock these days...

The ex-Redskins guy is Nunyo Demasio(sp?) but he left SI a month or two ago -- for where, I don't know.

 

[Moderator1]

Nunyo left already?

 

[broadway joe]

Nunyo left already?

Yeah, I don't know if it was voluntary or if he was part of the layoffs they had recently, but he's definitely gone.

the funny thing is, saw a Canon ad a few months ago, a "team picture" of the SI staff photographers who use their products. looked to me anyway -- white males, every one of them ...

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Does anyone know what happened to DeMasio?

Figured something was up when he was on Cold Pizza with Skippy...

other than that, I have no comment on Jeffri Chadiha.

Um, Michael Silver? The white Jewish guy?

 

[zagoshe]

I think the next hire should be a nappy-headed transvestite ho.......

Leave Scoop Jackson out of this... :)

I think Knute was suggesting that Silver is black on the inside. In other words, he tries to act like a brother

 

[jason_whitlock]

this is a great hire by espn. ... i just hope he is used properly. ... espn is clueless about utilizing and managing black folks. clueless. but this is an outstanding hire.

I don't understand... How could Nunyo DeMasio leave (or get fired) after two months? And did we ever really hear why Steve Rushin exited?

1) The January/February SI bloodletting was "comprehensive."

2) Yes.

 

[Moland Spring]

1. So they hire a guy, pay him a ton of money, ask him to move, then fire him two months later (and he doesn't even work for a newspaper, not even a Gannett one)?

2. Ok. So why?
