The Daily Northwestern’s Winter Quarter 2021 Diversity Report
April 5, 2021
The Daily Northwestern has never fully represented the Northwestern or Evanston communities. The composition of our newsroom affects the stories we choose to publish, the sources we quote and the judgments we make as a student newspaper. We started releasing an annual diversity report in 2018 in an effort to be more transparent about our staff and our coverage.
However, we recognized that our staffers fluctuate throughout the year. Starting in Fall 2020, we began publishing a diversity report at the end of every quarter. The following metrics reflect our newsroom composition for Winter Quarter, from January to March 2021. We’ll publish a new diversity report reflecting Spring Quarter this June.
