Regarding her journalism career

[edit]

One sentence reads, "She worked as a disc jockey for KDIA, a soul-gospel radio station based in Vallejo, California, when the 1964 Republican National Convention, located at the Cow Palace in nearby Daly City, California, inspired her to enter journalism." But the earlier sentences describe her doing print, radio and television journalism since 1957. So she couldn't have "entered journalism" as a result of the 1964 convention.

Good point. I reread the source and it says "It was during the raucous 1964 Republican Convention at the Cow Palace that Davis decided she needed to become a reporter." She had been in journalism prior to 1964, but wasn't a reporter until the Convention. I think that's now accurate. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:58, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Under "Personal," the final sentences read, " In 1975, Davis allowed an African American woman and American Women in Radio and TV member, Kathleen H. Arnold, today anthropologist, Kathleen Rand Reed produce Belva Davis – This is Your Life. Davis, mentored Reed for decades." This is a mess! Among other clumsiness, why is "today anthropologist" inserted in there? BayRadioDJ (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
