Finding diverse stories and sources

This presentation explores the vital role of diversity in newsrooms and content creation per JMC 3013. We dive into historical influences, such as the 1968 Kerner Commission report, which highlighted the shortcomings in media representation of black communities and minority journalists. The 1978 ASNE initiative aimed for newsroom parity by 2025, prompting annual surveys to track progress. Here at OU, we advocate for a broad understanding of diversity encompassing political ideology, religion, gender, sexual preference, urban/rural considerations, and beyond.
