“Crushing resistance”: Yet again, newsrooms aren’t showing up to the industry’s largest diversity survey
By Sarah Scire

"Some survey feedback was openly unfriendly to the ideals of diversity and inclusion.

What corporate philanthropy got wrong after George Floyd’s murder
By Kara Baskin

"In the wake of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020, many corporations made pledges intended to advance racial justice. For example, Google committed to donating $50 million to historically Black colleges and universities, while JPMorgan Chase allocated $30 billion in housing and business loans, and other supports, to Black and Latino communities. But were those pledges genuine?  Were they performative? Or were they genuine, but poorly managed?" 

Let’s make journalism work for those not born into an elite class
By Alissa Quart

"Elite journalists tend to graduate from the same small cohort of colleges; a 2018 study published in the Journal of Expertise found that “only a handful of select schools feed the mastheads of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, suggesting the importance of networks."
