Teen Vogue
When Apple's World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) comes around every year, you can expect a flurry of social media activity (AKA tweets on tweets on tweets) dedicated to all the new features they're rolling out on your favorite gadgets. And while we definitely geeked out over news of iOS 10 and the crazy new imessage updates Tim Cook wasn't the one to get the most Twitter love this time around at WWDC. That honor, instead went to Bozoma Saint John, global head of consumer marketing for Apple Music.
Chicago Tribune
After a 71-year run in Chicago, Johnson Publishing is getting out of publishing. The new publishing entity, Ebony Media Operations, will maintain the magazine's Chicago headquarters and its New York editorial office, as well as much of the current staff, according to Michael Gibson, co-founder and chairman of African-American-owned Clear View Group.
U.S. News & World Report
The nation's Asian population grew at 3.4 percent between July 2014 and 2015, with migration responsible for the majority of the growth, government officials said Thursday. There are now 21 million Asians in the United States, with Hawaii as the nation's only majority Asian state.
International Business Times
The Hollywood Reporter released a new list of the 100 most powerful people in the industry Wednesday and, not surprisingly, the list is chock-full of white men. That is not the Hollywood Reporter's fault - the publication has appeared to put effort into being objective and has already pointed out the lack of diversity in the list. The list merely reflects a reality in the industry that people of color and women are still enormously underrepresented among those who give projects the green light.
Hollywood's Black
Renaissance
Sony Pictures Television (SPT) has officially announced the launch of its 2016 Diverse Directors Program. The annual initiative, which is in its third year, is part of SPT's commitment to providing opportunities to talented artists of diverse backgrounds.
