GJR book review: Book traces ASNE’s efforts to advance newsroom diversity
BY MICHAEL D. MURRAY / Professor Gwyneth Mellinger has written a thoughtful, thorough account of the efforts of U.S. newspapers to achieve newsroom diversity through the work of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE).
