Diversity Style Guides for Journalists
Description
"Should news outlets capitalize the word Black? Is it preferable to refer to someone as a person with autism, or as an autistic person? Should you explain the use of unconventional personal pronouns in stories? When do you use the term Indigenous and when do you use the term Aboriginal? What’s wrong with saying that someone “suffers from” a certain condition?" This webpage from the Open Notebook is a listicle - "links to a number of diversity style guides and other resources that can help journalists critically examine their stories for problematic issues."
