Organisation that represents UK newspaper editors says it will work to improve diversity in industry
The organisation that represents British newspaper editors has withdrawn its claim that the UK media is not racist or bigoted after six months of pressure from journalists of colour who said it did not reflect their experience of the industry.
The Society of Editors said it would now work to improve diversity in the industry and would no longer stand by statements made in March by its former director, Ian Murray. He had strongly disputed claims by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, that negative coverage of her relationship with Prince Harry was motivated by her skin colour.
