LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Grammy Awards will adopt an inclusion rider that will require producers to recruit and hire more diverse candidates backstage and in front of the camera for next year’s ceremony.
The Recording Academy announced Wednesday that the rider will be added to its agreement with producers staging the 64th annual awards as a way to ensure equity and inclusion at all levels of production.
Academy President and CEO Harvey Mason jr. called the concept a “monumental step” for an inclusive music community. The full inclusion rider will be released publicly on Sept. 16.
The rider requires Grammys producers to audition, interview, and hire onstage and offstage people who have been historically and systematically excluded from the industry.
“As the academy continues its transformational journey, diversifying our industry is at the core of every decision we make,” Mason said in a statement. “We’re dedicated to fostering an environment of inclusion industry wide and hope that our efforts set an example for our peers in the music community.”

If you include some you must exclude others.
No one cares , Grammy
People still watch the garbage?
You would think that after the last few shows and the viewers numbers being utter garbo, they would have cancelled this years show. /s
The Grammys? What’s that?
I demand to be included on the next Grammy show as a cameraman. If I am not included, then that means that the people running the Grammies are nothing but a bunch of bigoted and intolerant people who think they are better than everybody else.
Nobody in my family has ever watched this garbage.
The more you choose people by any criteria other than performance qualification the more you will fail.
More diversity at the Grammys?!! Does that mean they are having white people perform now?

To today’s democrats, nothing matters but skin color and what you do with your genitalia.
Whew, thank goodness. This tops climate change.
To today’s democrats, nothing matters but skin color and what you do with your genitalia.
The similarity to the aryan laws in Germany is a wonder to behold as the lack of self-awareness.
I still will not be watching
You can now expect more vulgarity as the Grammy awards scrape the bottom of the barrel.
The NBA and the NFL should do this as well...
And this boys and girls is why we dropped out of NARAS about 15 years ago. It became a popularity contest, political and social justice movement and ceased to be about music and excellence. Mr G was on a committee and spoke to tptb about how they weren’t even getting the material to listen to and nobody gave a rat’s patootie. We haven’t watched or missed the grammys for years.
Who watches that crap anyway
Their ratings weren’t low enough the last few years. Let’s see how low they can go!
