【sex videos lezbians】AAJA Acknowledges ABC's Apology for Misidentification of Women's Names

On Feb. 14,sex videos lezbians an “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir” broadcast misidentified community organizer Grace Lee as Michelle Go, an Asian American woman who was killed in New York City on Jan. 15.

ABC was covering a vigil for Christina Yuna Lee, a 35-year-old Asian American woman who was murdered in her home on Feb. 13 in New York City.

“As journalists, we understand that mistakes happen on deadline,” the Asian American Journalists Association said in a statement. “Still, we were disappointed to see a major news network with vast resources and standards departments mix up names, particularly those of members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community during the coverage of such a tragic event.

“The Asian American Journalists Association’s President Michelle Ye Hee Lee and Executive Director Naomi Tacuyan Underwood met with ABC President Kim Godwin following the incident, and learned that the error was an honest and unintentional mistake. Godwin expressed empathy for the impact of the error on members of the AAPI community who are already on edge.”

ABC News shared the following statement: “ABC News deeply regrets this isolated error and immediately corrected it. We have apologized directly to the parties involved and have spoken to Grace Lee and the AAJA. This was an unfortunate technical error, not one born from insensitivity. However, we do acknowledge and apologize for the hurt mistakes like this can cause to the Asian community. Our track record of fair reporting and elevating marginalized voices speaks to our sincerity.”

AAJA commended ABC for taking immediate steps to correct the error.

AAJA urged news outlets to take caution in their coverage of AAPI communities, especially during a time of heightened fear that has resulted from two years of xenophobia and anti-Asian violence. Stop AAPI Hate, a national coalition that gathers data on anti-AAPI xenophobia, logged more than 10,000 anti-Asian incidents since March 2020. 

Accidental misidentification of names can perpetuate and further exacerbate the erasure and otherizing that minority communities have historically faced.

In a separate incident during the Super Bowl pre-show on Feb. 13, NBC mixed up two Black women. The network displayed graphics to introduce R&B singer Jhené Aiko (who is also of Asian descent), but instead panned to country singer Mickey Guyton.

AAJA commended NBC for their apology.

AAJA calls on news executives and managers to:

? Prioritize and set tangible benchmarks for recruiting, hiring and promoting AAPIs and journalists and newsroom leaders and managers of color;

? Properly and regularly train staff and leadership to be culturally conscious, and actively question personal biases and assumptions;

? Invest financially in developing newsrooms where diversity in newsgathering and news coverage is truly prioritized, from the highest executives on down;

? Provide the extra support, resources and compensation that minority journalists may need and deserve as they disproportionately shoulder the emotional toll of coverage that affects communities of color.
