Co-founder of The Objective, Gabe Schneider, wrote this article about the lack of diversity within the journalism/ newsroom atmosphere. Schneider explains that large corporations “seem unable to reckon with the fact that they often write their coverage for and to the comfort of wealthy while American cisgender men.” Higher up people within this journal community need to be held accountable for their “stagnant efforts to diversify” rather than brushing it off (Schneider). Schneiders prediction is that “If newsroom leaders and editors were unable to see the magnitude of their failures over the past few years, that even with all of their commitments of 2020, 2021 won’t be any different.”
