Letter to Network Presidents Recently, NBC announced that Brian Williams will eventually replace Tom Brokaw as the network's lead anchor. We in the National Association of Hispanic Journalists congratulate Mr. Williams and wish him much success.

We urge you to please keep diversity a high priority as CNN revamps its anchor desk. |
