Women and Minorities in the Media

I defined diversity as an array of characteristics of peoples including, though not limited to, race, ethnicity, religion, ideals, age, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Professor Morris added a key aspect of diversity- the recognition of different people and not holding it against them, so to speak.

I believe journalists should always consider certain elements when covering topics pertaining to diversity such as choosing the correct terms, avoiding stereotypes and omission.
