> writers who love to preach God forbid reporters do some reporting. > I'd venture a bet that my silicon valley co-workers are much more diverse You're welcome to publish that research. If you look at the tech workforce at Facebook, where they use extremely generous 1% rounding, the sum of black and hispanic employees is 4%. [0] In one sense, comparing the least generous 8% nonwhite figure with NYT Board of Directors, their board has twice (200%) the proportion of minority members than Facebook has across their tech workforce. Venture that bet. You'll lose the bet. > Media has a diversity problem!! Media may be the only place where an African American like Oprah, Beyonce or Kanye West can run multi-faceted business empires. You're ignoring what a huge cultural, intellectual and business presence African Americans have in a lot of media, certainly far more than their influence in Silicon Valley.
