Ok this made me weep: from Bill Whitaker, see this CBS Morning News 2023 tribute to the legendary #BelvaDavis, the first BW to anchor local TV news in my hometown. She passed away recently, and was honored today in #SF. Ms. Davis inspired me to become a Journalist 🌁 www.cbsnews.com/video/journa...?

An great obituary of the legendary #BelvaDavis, grand dame of my hometown’s local TV & radio news ecosystem. Glad that Trip Gabriel of the NYT delivers a culturally competent look at Ms. Davis’s importance. 🙏🏾🌉📺🎙️ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/b...
Belva Davis, 'Trailblazer,' 'Pioneer' Dies at 92 tinyurl.com/2vn59hyh #journalism #journalismsNEWS #BelvaDavis @BarbaraOnTV @bobbutler7 @scottshafer @KQED @kron4news @KPIXtv #NABJ
Only @kqednews.kqed.org in #SF produced a robust Obit on #BelvaDavis, legendary #SF Journo who died early this week at age 92. She worked many yrs @kqednews.kqed.org +inspired NextGen Black #SF Journos (however small our numbers!) including me. Shame on #SFChron, #SFEx www.kqed.org/news/1196291...
An amazing career that deserves recognition and a big loss to the Bay Area. #BelvaDavis www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/b...?
Related: This *digital-first* news outlet that is funded by #BigTech mogul has thus far published ZERO about the passing of Legendary #SF Journo #BelvaDavis 🤦🏽♀️ sfstandard.com
Updating: the news ecosystem in #SF has not ever appreciated the few expert Journos who are BW. Current newsrooms staffs — which have hardly ANY BW Journos / Producers— are probably Scrambling now to accurately + appropriately cover the passing of #BELVADAVIS. Have they tapped #NABJ? 🤷🏽♀️
Late yesterday, the alleged *leading* news co in my hometown published a paint-by-numbers story on the passing of #BelvaDavis a legendary BW journo in my hometown. The story’s footer indicated, “More to come.” A day later: Why hasn’t @sfchronicle.com followed up? www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/b...
One of the very first black women to break into TV news. Groundbreaking and a powerful woman. How she dealt with the racism, wow. A real loss of a good human. Glad the USA isn't so racist anymore....ooops...

TRAILBLAZING BAY AREA JOURNALIST:

🥺 Can you name BW Jounos who’ve thrived in the news biz and done important ACCOUNTABILITY reporting in #SanFrancisco during the past 60 years? Answer: NOT MANY, due to the incipient Racism + Misogyny of the locals news biz in #SF. Still #BelvaDavis laid a path for those of us who came after her🙏🏾💯🥺🌁
Last: my foundational Pro role model has passed away. Thru my earliest viewings of local TV news broadcasts in #SanFrancisco at #KPIX, #KQED and other local outlets, Belva Davis inspired me as a child to become a Journalist. #RIP Legend. 🙏🏾 💯 #TeamNorCal 🌉🥺 #BelvaDavis www.kron4.com/news/bay-are...
"Davis was the first Black woman to be hired as a television journalist on the West Coast when she took a position with KPIX-TV, the CBS affiliate in San Francisco, in 1966."

“Journalists were beginning to bring the stories of Black Americans out of the shadows … & into the light of day … They were reporting on the cross burnings & water hosings, the beatings and lynchings, in vivid details that the public could no longer ignore. I wanted to be one of them.” #BelvaDavis
Legendary Bay Area journalist #BelvaDavis has died at the age of 92. The first in her family to graduate high school, she graduated from #Berkeley High School.
