The top reporters covering company diversity, equity and inclusion efforts

Sean Czarnecki of Insider has compiled a list of the 15 reporters who are covering how companies are doing on their diversity, equity and inclusion pledges and efforts.

Czarnecki writes, “Media outlets like Bloomberg and the Financial Times have covered corporate diversity issues at a breakneck pace. Today, missteps can spiral out of control into full-blown public relations crises. Pinterest, for example, faced claims that Black people were fired or pushed out of a job with no real explanation.

“The reckoning around corporations failing to live up to expectations around diversity, equity, and inclusions has created a new kind of beat reporter who holds these companies accountable and exposes their mishaps to the public eye.

“For example, the Financial Times hired Taylor Nicole Rogers to focus on labor and equality. And Ruth Umoh, the former editor of diversity and inclusion at Forbes, became editor-in-chief at a new publication called The Filament aimed at diversity officers in the tech industry.

“Insider identified 15 leading business reporters unpacking the DE&I issues that corporate America faces today.”
