his year SEJ is asking contest entrants two questions to help further SEJ’s work to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in journalism:
- Whether their news outlets publicly post demographic data on the diversity of their staff, including a breakdown of their composition by genter and race/ethnicity.
- Whether their news outlets have participated in the News Leaders Association diversity survey, or if they plan to participate in the next survey.
The questions are on the contest payment form and answers will not be seen by judges or used in any way to evaluate entries for the 2023 awards.
