About that New Scripps Diversity Officer

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that Scripps had created a new position of vice president, employment and labor law, and chief diversity officer. 

They filled that job with Danyelle S.T. Wright.

The timing of the company creating the Chief Diversity Officer is interesting. Scripps announced the new position just days before former KSHB Reporter Lisa Benson's race discrimination case goes to trial. 

Jury selection is scheduled to start 4/30 in federal court. 

So, just before the company goes on trial for  race discrimination, they create a new Chief Diversity Officer job. 

It's just a coincidence.... right?
