GBH News Establishes Equity and Justice Unit
GBH News announces the creation of a new multiplatform unit that will focus on racial and socioeconomic equity issues in Greater Boston and beyond. GBH says the Equity and Justice unit will develop regional and national interest stories around these key topics, expanding its commitment to community events, engaging directly with the audience, and elevating community voices using the GBH News platform. GBH president and CEO Susan Goldberg says, “Shining a light on inequity – whether around healthcare, housing, income, or other topics – is an important job for our news organization. As the nation’s largest producer of public media content, we want to ensure awareness of these pressing issues is woven into the stories we tell, the way we work, and the platforms on which we share news and information.”
