Navigating Language and Diversity in Media
The chapter delves into the influence of diversity groups on media language, focusing on guidance to avoid certain gender-related phrases and debates on addressing systemic racism post-George Floyd. Details from the NPR union contract are highlighted, including language obligations, monthly diversity assessments, and the backstop. It also discusses reactions to an essay critiquing NPR, concerns about content evolution, and the push for more risk-taking and distinctive voices in NPR's broadcasting.
