An analysis by unionized New York Times journalists found that employees of color at the news outlet for years have received lower ratings in performance reviews, on average, than white employees.
Black staffers were 39% less likely than white employees to get one of the top two ratings on the Times’ six-level scale, and 60% more likely to get one of the bottom two ratings, the union found. Hispanic workers were 44% less likely to get a top rating and 74% more likely to get a low one. Asian workers were 26% less likely to get a top rating and 37% more likely to get one of the bottom ones.
