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.”

  • A racist is a person who hate you because you don’t agree with his ideology. President L.B. Johnson we were not robots to agree on everything but we can have discussion on it

  • When will the White Idiots on the left wake up... this could be an awakening for journalists everywhere.... especially, if they understand Marxist purges and how they work.  This examination of one's sources and racial motives resulting in suspending the hiring of any white interns... the door to permanent jobs... should prove interesting.  I expect that many of the staff at the Globe are about to be replaced ... purged.  Look for this sort of thing to increase as the left purges its own ranks of any possible counter-revolutionaries.

    Individuals who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

  • TIME TO WAKE UP THIS IS DISGUSTING REVERSE RACISM.  THEY DID THIS IN THE PLAY HAMILTON .  They needed replacement actors and said in the ad NO WHITES APPLY.  THAT IS AGAINST ALL HIRING PRACTICES. 

    • That should be against the law... anyone highering based on RACE, CREED, RELIGION or SEXUAL ORIENTATION is violating the law.  Amazing how the law doesn't apply to the Marxist.  No wonder the Attorney General hasn't indicted anyone of real significance... maybe, just maybe AG Barr is not what he pretends to be... he certainly doesn't act like a Conservative Constitutional Patriot  I wonder how many interns at the DOJ are white and how many will be white next year?

  • this is crazy

  • Absolutely. Let's interview the George Floyds in the black community and ask them what they think of career criminals

    • By all means interview the black community, and the white community, about crime. We don't want to appear racist.

  • This is what's called reverse discrimination. But first, the Globe better make sure there reporters, etc., give credit to the people whose statements they report, instead of claiming them as their own. Hummm

  • New definition of diversity: Whites need not apply. Will they install new diverse "whites only drinking fountains & restrooms"?

    • Whites only drinking fountains & restrooms? Sounds good to me.
