Across the United States, newsrooms are grappling with systemic
racism in their organizations and the media industry. Many have
implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or
made other attempts to confront past and present biases in pursuit
of greater equity. Are such efforts merely performative, or are any
transforming norms and power structures? What would it take to hold
newsrooms truly accountable? Andrea Wenzel provides a critical look
at how local media organizations in the Philadelphia area are
attempting to address structural racism. She focuses on two
established, majority-white newsrooms, the Philadelphia Inquirer
and the public radio station WHYY, and two start-ups where at least
half the staff identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color
(BIPOC), Resolve Philly and Kensington Voice. Drawing on more than
five years of field research, Wenzel charts how these outlets have
pursued a range of interventions—such as tracking the diversity
of sources, examining reporting and editing practices, and working
with community members to gain input—to varying degrees of
success. Wenzel argues that institutional and systemic
transformation will be possible only through the establishment of
structures that facilitate holding those with more power
responsible for listening to and addressing the needs and concerns
of those with less. Offering recommendations for building
infrastructure that enables sustainable accountability, Antiracist
Journalism is an important book for all stakeholders interested in
making local journalism more equitable.
