  • The Daily Texan Diversity & Inclusion Board August 3, 2020 Statement
    The Daily Texan Diversity & Inclusion Board August 3, 2020 Statement: Demands for Reforms in The Daily Texan Newsroom To The Daily Texan and Texas Student Media (TSM): The murder of George Floyd, Mike Ramos, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade and countless other lives lost to anti-Black violence in the U.S. has led to an upheaval of the oppressive structures that harm this country’s newsrooms. Black and Latinx journalists at news outlets such as The Los Angeles Times , The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and many, many more across the country have pressured their employers to reckon with this industry’s complacency in upholding white supremacy. And as a student media outlet, it’s imperative that we do the same. A response to “Demands for Reforms in The Daily Texan Newsroom” from the Director for Texas Student Media (TSM) The Director agrees and is committed to finding a resolution for each of the recommendations. If the Diversity and Inclusion Board would be open to meeting, we can define a path that builds structure and framework to accomplish these requests by October 1. It will require work by committee, but that achievement is possible. A committee composed of the D&I Board, the Director of TSM, and representatives from the TSM Board of Trustees, The Daily Texan leadership and the Moody College of Communication can work to resolve these requests. I also agree that the Daily Texan and all student media units at Texas Student Media haven’t always been as welcoming as they could be. I believe this to be true for the 100+ year history of the organization.
