Representation matters, we have evidence of it everyday in our newsrooms. As a minority of any kind, it is important to speak up and out if you see unfair or skewed news coverage, or hiring decisions.
Newsrooms are moving at lightening speed, so having proper representation in your newsrooms is vital. Knowing what is being covered fairly, or avoiding tone-deaf commentary or comments can be achieved by diversity in the newsroom. But, it also means that those who can speak out, do.
