A free press serves a diverse public. We commit to reflecting that diversity in our staff, our sources, and the communities we cover.
This policy is published in draft form pending counsel review. The structure + scope are in place; specific wording must be approved by legal before final deploy.
#Our commitment
- Hire from a wide pool — across gender, caste, region, religion, language, disability.
- Train and promote internally to maintain diversity at senior levels.
- Cover under-reported communities with the same rigour as the mainstream.
- Use diverse sources in every story; track and report on source-diversity metrics.
#Staff demographics
Annual figures will be published here once the inaugural diversity audit completes. Editor-in-Chief office is responsible for publishing this disclosure annually.
#Source diversity
We track the gender + regional breakdown of named sources quarterly. The fact-check desk and Reader's Editor have access to the data; aggregate figures published annually here.
#Coverage
Every desk has a diversity beat-mapping reviewed quarterly to identify under-covered communities, regions, and topics.
