Post Releases Diversity Report

A report on diversity in The Washington Post will be released today on The Source, shortly after noon. One year in the making, it examines several issues: minority representation, newsroom culture, minority retention and job postings. Each section concludes with recommendations for changes and improvements.

The report was completed in December by a small group of your colleagues, then shared with the executive editor, Len Downie, the managing editor, Phil Bennett and the deputy managing editor, Milton Coleman, for a discussion on its findings and on sharing its findings with the staff.
