Dear Maynard Family,
Next week we have a new episode of Belonging in the News, featuring Jeff Chang, a Senior Advisor at Race Forward and formerly the Executive Director of the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford University. This conversation will focus closely on strategies for advancing antiracism in coverage. Register now!
In a major piece of diversity and belonging news this week, the AP announced they will no longer name suspects in minor crime stories that will not include follow-up coverage about the outcome of the cases. The change could indicate a trend as news outlets work to minimize harm to communities of color caused by crime coverage. Find the full article below.
Stay positive. Test negative.

Why we’re no longer naming suspects in minor crime stories
By John Daniszewski
The AP announced they will no longer name suspects in minor crime stories that will not include follow-up coverage about the outcome of the cases. On Twitter, AP reporter Farnoush Amiri writes that the move is “an effort to minimize harm on suspects who later gain employment or just move on in their lives.”

Cierra Hinton and Lizzy Hazeltine release Anti-Racist Table Stakes Guide
By Cierra Hinton and Lizzy Hazeltine
The two authors and longtime journalists published the Anti-Racist Tables Stakes guide as a follow-up to the original Table Stakes for newsroom transformation. According to the authors, "The Anti-Racist Table Stakes decenter profitability in favor of individuals, audiences, and communities, and understands engagement as a leading indicator of success and revenue as a lagging indicator of trust."
