The New York Times has laid out a plan to build a “more diverse, equitable and inclusive” business after the paper released the results of an eight-month internal review of its workplace culture and diversity on Wednesday.
The report based on interviews with more than 400 employees said that while the paper has made strides in diversity in recent years, “The Times is a difficult environment for many of our colleagues, from a wide range of backgrounds.”
The investigation, which was commissioned in June as protests against racial inequality swept the nation, found that Black and Latino people were underrepresented in leadership positions, while some Asian American employees said they felt “invisible and unseen” to the point of being called by the name of a different colleague of the same race.
“Our current culture and systems are not enabling our work force to thrive and do its best work,” the report said. “This is true across many types of difference: race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic background, ideological viewpoints and more. But it is particularly true for people of color, many of whom described unsettling and sometimes painful day-to-day workplace experiences.”
Currently, people of color make up 33 percent of the paper’s staff, and 23 percent hold leadership roles. Just 5 percent of the company’s leadership roles are held by Black people and 4 percent by Latino employees, while Asians make up 12 percent. Native American employees represent less than 1 percent of all staffers.

Racis!
Asians ere well represented.......smart.
.
Anyone with a reasonable education and intelligence would find it hard working in that den of stupidity.
Probably much much harder to work there if your idea’s dont fully mix with the Far left.
I am so tired of ‘People of color’.
I think the SJW wokes are burning out the rest of us about POCs over the last year and this year.
Time and time again, liberal organizations turn out to be the worst at racism, because, well, liberals are racists
Well, Maybe it’s that the people of color are just difficult to work with?
Just saying.
Looks like blacks are well represented in the nyslimes.
Is it a “difficult” place to work, or just difficult to get hired?
After they’re done purging everyone who is not appropriate left of center, everyone who earns too much money, and everyone who likes to examine issues in depth to inform their readership, then they can then hire all kinds of inexperienced and low-wage bloggers to meet their quotas.
Life is tough when you are stupid, no matter where you work or what your race or gender you select to identify as.
ditto.
We're all a color....many different shades.
In about three months I'll be a little darker than my current shade.
What is wrong with the people in charge at the New York Times, do they have some sort of authoritarian personality or something that makes them bigots?
The answer is simple. Have government mandate that People of Color (not Colored People) replace the jobs held by crackers even though they’re less qualified for them, until the economy completely collapses and government is able to introduce socialism as a better alternative. In which case, racism will end because everyone will be equally poor.
Can’t help laughing.
The poor dears, downtrodden already by the white supremacist, white privilege ridden horrible America, and then to face the scourge of racism from the NYT itself.
Must feel like the 1960s Freedom Riders hounded by German Shepherds and hostile deputies.
Probably not even asked if they want anything when others send out for lattes and pastries from the bakery. The kind of exclusion that hurts so deeply./SARC
Fake news with more diversity is still fake news.
That is the very thing I thought when I saw that phrase, so sick of their hypocrisy.
