Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion/2021 Race Equity Action Plan

In 2020, to help New York Public Radio better serve its communities, we set a focused and ongoing practice of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as core to our mission. This practice informs all decisions across the organization, at every level and on every team.

Central to these efforts is our Race Equity Action Plan, a set of tangible commitments for DEI work at the organization, and a roadmap for how to achieve them—thoughtfully and with haste. Having first launched the plan for Calendar Year 2021, NYPR is continually evaluating our work, and publishing a revised plan each year, based on our progress and guidance from the staff. Notable accomplishments thus far include the addition of several key HR roles responsible for equitable hiring, recruitment, and employee retention; a standardized interview and training practice to remove unconscious bias from the hiring process; and the organization-wide adoption of The Source Project, an initiative to track and improve the racial diversity of featured guests on our programs, carried out alongside our work to increase the diversity of our own staff community.

Ultimately, the work outlined in this Race Equity Action Plan represents a significant step in NYPR’s ongoing efforts to weave DEI into everything we do in a meaningful and lasting way. More on the Race Equity
