times to be a journalist, obviously. some might say journalism is under attack if you will. do you feel like journalists of color are being targeted by this president. >> for someone who covers race it's easy to say he's targeting black women. i think he's someone that likes a fight and has benefitted from having those fights. as a result i think that's what that's about. >> i think she hit the nail on the head when she said president trump likes a fight. i think that's part of how he campaigns, how he governs to kind of constantly be engaging in that way. i think most of us have determined we can't take it personally. our job is to go in there and to have done the homework. >> because the president likes tv and because he likes to hear himself talk to a certain extent, you -- every oval office experience could turn into a press conference, so you better

be ready with questions because this is our chance to hold him accountable. >> we get into journalism not to be liked by the people we cover. so if the president is lashing out at you, or whoever is lashing out at you, you learn to let that roll off your back or pretend he didn't say that to you until you get back to your office and close the door. >> so what responsibility do you feel you have to the community of color in terms of the questions that you're asking. >> i would say the responsibility i feel is to be right about things. i think there's this added pressure to just, in this job in particular, where this president in particular, to try to tell people we're not picking on the people but here's what he said that's right and here's what he said that's wrong. >> when you sit in the front row of that briefing room, i feel like i have to always be 100% on the mark. because everyone is watching and i feel like i have a responsibility not only to nbc, not only to journalism in

general and to make sure i'm getting it right for our team, for our democracy, but i feel that added level of i'm representing people of color. so i want to make sure i'm being a good role model in that for sure. >> for me i think in the behind-the-scenes role -- i'm not never going to be able to separate the fact that i'm black and a woman from the fact i'm a reporter. i don't think that's going to drive every question i have or everything that i do. but i do know that i am representing something for aeo t ofe and i want to get it right, but also i have -- i put the pressure on myself to make sure that i am somewhat of a conscience behind the scenes. >> five smart women lined up there. that's just one of the stories you'll see during the nbc 4 black history month special, that airs this weekend. rivers" and "she it recognizes black women, past and prent, breaking down
