DENVER â As part of its commitment to the community, Denver7 will run a commercial-free special to advance local dialogue on the issue of implicit bias.
âWe are proud to bring this special to our viewers here in Colorado,â said Denver7 VP and General Manager Dean Littleton. âConversations like this are important to have. They allow us to become more self-aware and help connect us with our neighbors in a new way.â
The hourlong special, âHidden Bias of Good People,â is hosted by Bryant T. Marks, Ph.D., founder and chief equity officer of the National Training Institute on Race and Equity. The special, which will be aired in all of Scrippsâ 41 local television markets, is interactive and conversational, with a goal of helping viewers understand the unconscious biases we all carry based on our upbringings and environments. Implicit, or unconscious, bias refers to attitudes and beliefs that occur outside of our conscious awareness and control.
