Hidden Figures:
How actionable diversity data will help us see—and change—Canadian newsrooms

As lead researchers on the Canadian Newsroom Diversity Project at the Ryerson School of Journalism, we are developing an innovative self-reporting tool for newsroom journalists. In addition to quantitative self-reported staffing data, we are developing a set of qualitative questions to enhance our understanding of inclusion and equity as it impacts news organizations and the audiences they serve.

In this session we will discuss our collaborative approach to creating the survey and share the working draft of the qualitative section of our survey. Participants will be broken up into three groups in which each of us will facilitate a discussion about a specific question and invite feedback that we can incorporate into the final draft.
