Headline accuses "others" of using a term that doesn't appear in the article — "urban-centric."

It's a little too early in the morning to feel like giving up, but journalism is so bad these days, I feel like quitting reading it altogether. I'm reading the Wisconsin State Journal: "Tony Evers' Cabinet picks signal pragmatism, diversity to some; others call them too urban-centric."

Urban-centric? Who said that? No one I guess.

This is the closest I can come to finding material in the article that supports the use of that term:

GOP legislative leaders have criticized Evers’ slate for being primarily from the state’s two biggest metro areas, Milwaukee and Madison. Of Evers’ 13 department secretaries, nine are from Dane or Milwaukee counties.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, said in a statement that “Madison and Milwaukee may have elected the new governor, but Gov.-elect Evers has to be governor of all of Wisconsin. With his cabinet primarily selected from the Madison and Milwaukee areas, it’s concerning that he seems to be already ignoring the rest of the state,” Vos said....

Six of Evers’ Cabinet picks so far are women and three are people of color — four if you add his choice to succeed him as state superintendent, Carolyn Stanford Taylor. That compares to [Scott] Walker’s first-term Cabinet picks, of whom three were women and two were people of color.

"Urban-centric" (especially next to "diversity" in that headline) sounds racial. I think of the term "urban music" — as in "Why Do We Still Call R&B/Hip-Hop 'Urban' — And Is It Time for a Change?" (Billboard).

Has the time come to retire “urban”? As an umbrella term for hip-hop and R&B, it’s either convenient and apt or an antiquated shorthand for music made by black artists. And as a department at many labels dating back to the 1970s, it has arguably marginalized black musicians and those who work with them.

As conversations about race and gender have intensified culturewide, “urban” is getting reassessed too. In early August, Music Business Worldwide reported that several black executives wanted to see the term eliminated. Sources at Warner/Chappell confirm to Billboard that outgoing CEO Jon Platt, who is exiting his post to head Sony/ATV, is among those who want to do away with the term.

Most objections are to the word itself. “The connotation of the word doesn't hold a positive weight,” explains Sam Taylor, senior vp creative at Kobalt Music Group, the rights management and publishing company. “It’s downgrading R&B, soul and hip-hop’s incredible impact on music. And as black executives, we have the power to phase ‘urban’ out -- to change the description.”
