This week has seen the release of two new research reports that speak directly to why the work we do at the Maynard Institute is so important. AAJA has researched the Top 20 local TV news markets in the U.S. and confirmed shockingly low numbers of AAPI journalists compared to the the market demographics in those networks.

Plus, a new report commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation researched news media across the UK, Nigeria, India, South Africa, Kenya and the US and found women of all colors are systemically excluded from editorial and leadership roles. See links below for more details on both reports.
