Race breakthrough for French TV

For the first time, the flagship eight o'clock news on the main French commercial television channel TF1 has been presented by a black journalist. Harry Roselmack is filling in for the star anchorman Patrick Poivre d'Arvor while he is on holiday. The move is making headlines in France, where ethnic minorities are considered to be poorly represented in the media. President Jacques Chirac urged TV stations to hire more people from minorities after last year's riots..."When I do interviews, I am neither black nor white, neither man nor woman - I am a journalist," [Harry Roselmack]...told the French daily newspaper Le Figaro.
