Diversity is essential to journalistic accuracy
Sally Lehrman, Society of Professional Journalists,Positioned at the beginning of SPJ’s Diversity Toolbox series, this resource makes a strong ethical case for increasing diversity in sourcing. The entire collection of essays in SPJ’s Diversity Toolbox is worth reading – they aren’t new, but they’ll never be out of date. In fact, diversity is written into SPJ’s Code of Ethics: “Boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience. Seek sources whose voices we seldom hear.”
