The parity paradox: Reader response to minority newsroom staffing
Article Abstract:
The topics of newspaper newsroom diversity were studied in terms of staffing levels, impact of minority staffing on editorial content, and the failure of newspapers to attract minority readers. The findings shows that minority staffing levels do not correlate with increased subscriptions and trust of local newspapers by the minority residents of 25 communities and increased minority staffing actually might have a negative effect on minority reader trust.
