Bloomberg News editor in chief John Micklethwait sent out the following on Tuesday:
To All in Editorial & Research
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
A number of you have recently asked about our commitment to diversity and inclusion — perhaps not surprisingly given the stories we (and others) have written about companies using the change in the political winds as cover to stage various retreats. From that perspective, I encourage all of you to read Pamela Hutchinson’s recent ONBB post reiterating our company’s approach. In Editorial & Research, that commitment remains unchanged — both in terms of our coverage (especially the importance of including diverse voices on all our platforms) and in terms of our workforce. The more our department resembles the countries we write and broadcast about, the stronger our journalism and analysis will be.
