Did you know that representative newsrooms can foster global narrative change?
There is an evidence-based correlation between who works in a newsroom and who is quoted in stories. That means that a lack of diversity in newsrooms contributes to the lack of holistic and equitable storytelling about the world.

In every country on earth, women are underrepresented in the field of journalism. And when women do work in journalism, they typically receive less pay than their male counterparts and are often limited to writing about lifestyle or fashion.
These factors contribute to the dearth of women featured and quoted in stories, resulting in news stories that do not accurately represent experts and newsmakers in global communities. Did you know that just 24% of all news sources are women?
Here, their stories of business, health, economics, migration and innovation feature diverse and representative sources. Our reporters earn strong salaries and enjoy a full suite of employment benefits, ensuring their ability to thrive in the profession.
