The editor of The Boston Globe plans to give reporters and other staff members “the necessary time to look back six months and assess their work through a racial lens,” according to a memo he sent the newspaper’s staff earlier this week.
Brian McGrory, the editor, wants reporters, columnists, editors, photographers, and video producers to count “how many people of color were subjects, how many were quoted as experts, how many were depicted in photographs and videos, and in what fashion?”
It’s not a witch hunt, he said.
“This exercise is not meant to embarrass or penalize anyone. It’s to learn from our own work and create awareness of what we need to do,” McGrory wrote in the memo. “We’ll figure out a meaningful way to share the broader results.”
The memo, which is dated Wednesday, July 1, was published Friday, July 3 by Northeastern University journalism professor and media blogger Dan Kennedy at WGBH.org.
The Globe plans to provide lists of sources of color to reporters and editors for news stories and other articles. McGrory said it is “of the utmost importance for everyone to include a diverse range of voices in stories and to develop sources who don’t look like you.”
Starting in 2021, McGrory said, the Globe will stop hiring summer interns who are white, and will instead “reframe” the program as “a diversity internship and training program in which all participants will be students or recent graduates of color.”

McGrory, who grew up in Weymouth and took over as editor of the Globe in 2013, said the newspaper will examine “core racial issues of inequality,” calling Boston “one of the most unequal places on the planet.”

Boston 2016:
Hillary: 81.7% Trump: 14.2%
BG needs to give it up and donate the ownership to BLM.
Pathetic.
Since they’re explicitly practicing racial discrimination it’s time to sue them under EEO and if they have any government contracts then also under OFCCP. White businesses should pull all advertising from these racist scum - in fact, give them the diversity they want and burn their building down.
“Globe will stop hiring summer interns who are white”
Is this not illegal?
I think that ALL jobs in the country should be done by the 13% of the population that will burn our businesses down if we don’t give them ALL the jobs. White people, and others, the 87% of the population, should sit at home and wait for our government checks.
the plagiarist Boston Globe (really the New York Times)
should assess their OWN hatred of conservatives
and the ELECTED PRESIDENT.
they won’t
and their hatred of Americans. and Whites.
they won’t.
This is nothing but a Maoist Cultural Revolution, complete with struggle-sessions, self criticism and wrong-think.
Millions starved in China as a result of their Cultural Revoltion, I think these imbeciles can top that at the rate they are going.
forget about a colorblind society
Yes, and it’s stupid to announce it in advance to the public. So, white intern.....apply, get turned down because of color, and sue. Sadly, the juries will all be Boston residents, and the judges will all be dems.
This is what ya’ get when electing the Marxist Rats
And this is what ya’ get when ignoring the Marxism that’s penetrated corporate America.
The Boston Globe is barely in business. They have downsized their offices and are losing $$ by the fist full. Will the interns work for free?
If I were black, I would be embarrassed and pissed.
The reinstitution of affirmative action...quotas. Start giving extra points again on those Civil Service and college entrance exams too. Maybe make sure all whites go to the back of line at the DMV, and other places. Also make whites sit in the back of all public transportation conveyances.
Wouldn’t that violate civil rights legislation?
Of course it is, but we’re ruled by the emotions of the mob now. Rule of law? Pfft...
None of the above would prove racism. Only to a bigot, would it.
This is great. Hire all blacks and do not hire any whites. If all this over-educated brats cannot get jobs maybe they will change their minds. Also, give all the blacks the college places and kick out all the whites. They should gladly give up their over priveledged college spot.
So the Boston Globe will go belly up in another month or so?
