Gaining Ground? Diversity in Publishing Progress toward a more racially diverse publishing workforce has beenΒ slow. Publishing leaders face political and economic changes that may make further progress harder.

Screenshot of post by Chris D. Jackson ('@ChrisDJackson' on the platform 'X'). The post says: 'BREAKING A new Reuters/lpsos Ipsos poll out today shows President Biden leading Donald Trump by 4 points in the swing states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, and North Carolina. Will the media cover this poll as much as they have others that haven't been as favorable to Biden?'

Polls this far out aren’t indicative of how things will actually go come election time. But they can change public perception, fundraising, and strategy, so it’s important that where there are counterexamples to the prevailing narrative, we amplify them. The media surely won’t.
