For nearly two decades, ASNE has been an industry leader in efforts to diversify newsroom staffs and news coverage at the nation s daily newspapers. We have begun to assess our efforts in diversity and lay out some ideas for the next century. ASNE Vice President, Edward Seaton, asked me to prepare a report on a proposed diversity course for the 21st century. We want to elicit comments from ASNE members and the broader journalism community.
Comments are welcome on all aspects of newsroom diversity.
If you are interested in commenting on newsroom diversity beyond 2000, please write your thoughts down and send them to me. I welcome them. Help ASNE find our new direction toward newsroom diversity. Ghiglione, a past president of ASNE, is the director of the journalism program at Emory University in Atlanta.
