The Daily Beast is committed to diversity, inclusion, and respect in who we hire, how we work, and what we cover. We aim to elevate stories that impact communities reflecting the full spectrum of human experience. We have begun to advance our goals by taking positive steps towards making our workplace a more diverse and inclusive place.

This process has included task forces, comprehensive unconscious bias training, speakers from diverse backgrounds to share their work, experiences, and perspectives, updates to our style guide to reflect the most accurate and respectful ways to describe and report on these communities, and mentorship as part of a reexamination of how we lift up and support employees and give every person in the organization a path for growth, development, and opportunities for leadership.

As part of a commitment to interview job candidates from traditionally underrepresented groups, we have expanded our networks, identified new ways to attract diverse candidates, and opened up the hiring process to ensure a diverse range of perspectives on candidates.

We are only at the beginning of this journey and will continue to push ourselves to confront our biases and create positive change in our company and our industry.
