A Call to Action
Building a Culture That Works for All of Us
The New York Times, 2021
Sobre o que é?
The New York Times changes its culture to change with the times.
Recommendation
The New York Times is among the world’s most venerable news institutions, but like many institutions, it faced the need to change its corporate culture to reflect new priorities and transformations in popular culture. In this report, the NYT’s senior leaders reflect on feedback from underrepresented employees – people of color – and report on how they set out to build a new internal framework committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). By implementing more stringent standards, more expansive hiring practices and better coordination with employee resource groups, the paper of record intends to make its culture more fair, resilient and relevant.
