Others achieving career success in journalism include Channel 5's anchor Jim Boyd, as well as Carmen Fields of Channel 2, and Tanya Hart, formerly with WBZ-TV and more recently with the new and successful Black Entertainment Network. Behind the scenes for some 20 years have been cameraman Richard Chase at Channel 4; Therman Toon at Channel 7; and at Channel 5, Donnat Mitchell and Bob Wilson (formerly with Channel 2). In the competitive field of journalism, their longevity is a significant career accomplishment for these African-Americans.
