Tegna CEO Apologizes for Nominee Racism Incident

Reuters: Tegna CEO Dave Lougee has apologized for having mistaken a Black executive, who this year became a candidate for the broadcast company’s board, for a hotel car valet in 2014. Adonis Hoffman, a lawyer, media expert and independent corporate director, withdrew his candidacy last Thursday, citing conflicts of interest and the incident seven years ago involving Lougee.
