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.”

Only approved “experts” of color will be tolerated. These will invariably be left-wing radicals.

I was offered a job on the piers from my uncles when I was 18 but I promised my father before he died that I would never take a job from them...even though they were his brothers.
No one can protect you forever once you go down that path.

It’s all about diversity. Must hire interns with zero writing and research abilities.
Are interns paid a decent wage?
No?
That’s SLAVERY!
