<p>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot doubled down on her policy granting interviews only to &#8220;black and brown&#8221; journalists overnight on Thursday, calling the Chicago press corps &#8220;overwhelmingly white&#8221; in a Twitter thread and in a letter addressed to Chicago&#8217;s media.</p>
<p>&#8220;In a two-page letter to the media, Lightfoot, the first Black woman as well as the first openly gay mayor in Chicago&#8217;s history, praised her own 2019 election for &#8216;breaking barriers&#8217; and took a shot at media organizations in the city for not adequately addressing &#8216;institutionalized racism&#8217; in their ranks. Her decision to temporarily speak only to Black and Brown reporters, she said, was part of her lifelong battle to fight for diversity and inclusion,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/lightfoot-slams-overwhelming-whiteness-of-chicago-press-defends-speaking-only-to-reporters-of-color">Fox News reported late Wednesday</a>.</p>
