In fact, I've previously uttered the same sentiments as Stephen B. Shepard, dean of the City University of New York's graduate school of journalism.

He said a Chronicle of Higher Education interview:

"People complain all the time that the profession isn't diverse enough. And I don't mean diversity just in the sense of racial and ethnic diversity, but I mean in class terms, too. Working-class people, immigrants, people who have served in the military. The press in this country is not very representative."
