ABSTRACT

A producer should ensure that various demographics within their audience feel represented. Chapter 13: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Matters: Creating a Complete Story for Your Audience fosters ways for news producers to examine and implement diversity, equity, and inclusion in their newscasts. Producers can impact story selection, the tone of news stories, sources used, and the treatment of the news items. DEI focused journalistic style guides are included to help producers better communicate with marginalized communities.
