New diversity style guide helps journalists write with authority
and accuracy about a complex, multicultural world A companion to
the online resource of the same name, The Diversity Style Guide
raises the consciousness of journalists who strive to be accurate.
Based on studies, news reports and style guides, as well as
interviews with more than 50 journalists and experts, it offers the
best, most up-to-date advice on writing about underrepresented and
often misrepresented groups. Addressing such thorny questions as
whether the words Black and White should be capitalized when
referring to race and which pronouns to use for people who don't
identify as male or female, the book helps readers navigate the
minefield of names, terms, labels and colloquialisms that come with
living in a diverse society. The Diversity Style Guide comes in two
parts. Part One offers enlightening chapters on Why is Diversity So
Important; Implicit Bias; Black Americans; Native People; Hispanics
and Latinos; Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders; Arab Americans
and Muslim Americans; Immigrants and Immigration; Gender Identity
and Sexual Orientation; People with Disabilities; Gender Equality
in the News Media; Mental Illness, Substance Abuse and Suicide; and
Diversity and Inclusion in a Changing Industry. Part Two includes
Diversity and Inclusion Activities and an A-Z Guide with more than
500 terms. This guide: Helps journalists, journalism students, and
other media writers better understand the context behind hot-button
words so they can report with confidence and sensitivity Explores
the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that certain words can alienate a
source or infuriate a reader Provides writers with an understanding
that diversity in journalism is about accuracy and truth, not
"political correctness." Brings together guidance from more than 20
organizations and style guides into a single handy reference book
The Diversity Style Guide is first and foremost a guide for
journalists, but it is also an important resource for journalism
and writing instructors, as well as other media professionals. In
addition, it will appeal to those in other fields looking to make
informed choices in their word usage and their personal
interactions.
