Antiracist Journalism : The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News
Across the United States, newsrooms are grappling with systemic racism in their organizations and the media industry.Many have implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or made other attempts to confront past and present biases in pursuit of greater equity.Are such efforts merely performative, or are any transforming norms and power structures?What would it take to hold newsrooms truly accountable?Andrea Wenzel provides a critical look at how local media organizations in the Philadelphia area are attempting to address structural racism.She focuses on two established, majority-white newsrooms, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the public radio station WHYY, and two start-ups where at least half the staff identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), Resolve Philly and Kensington Voice.Drawing on more than five years of field research, Wenzel charts how these outlets have pursued a range of interventions—such as tracking the diversity of sources, examining reporting and editing practices, and working with community members to gain input—to varying degrees of success.Wenzel argues that institutional and systemic transformation will be possible only through the establishment of structures that facilitate holding those with more power responsible for listening to and addressing the needs and concerns of those with less.Offering recommendations for building infrastructure that enables sustainable accountability, Antiracist Journalism is an important book for everyone interested in making local journalism more equitable.

Wouldn't it be more gender-equitable to switch between "Dear Ladies and Gentlemen" and "Dear Gentlemen and Ladies"?
Using "Dear Ladies and Gentlemen" and "Dear Gentlemen and Ladies" does not necessarily make the language more gender-equitable. In fact, it may reinforce traditional gender norms by prioritizing one gender over the other. A more gender-equitable approach would be to use gender-neutral language, such as "Dear Guests" or "Dear Everyone," to address a mixed-gender audience. This approach is inclusive and does not prioritize one gender over the other.

Sustainable Infrastructure Investment : Toward a More Equitable Future
This book provides examples and suggestions for readers to understand how public investment decisions for sustainable infrastructure are made.Through detailed analysis of public investment in infrastructure over the last few decades in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Finland, the author explores how the decision-making processes for major public works spending, many of them requiring quite rigorous and detailed computational methodologies, can result in plans that underserve large portions of the population, are inequitable, and fail to efficiently preserve public property.Beginning with some of the commonly offered explanations for the slow pace of investment and repair in a supposedly prosperous society facing serious environmental challenges, the book then explores media’s role in shaping the public-at-large’s understanding of the situation and the unimaginative solutions put forward by politicians.It continues with some case studies of infrastructure investment, or lack thereof, including an exploration of competing uses for government funds.It concludes with some suggestions. It is aimed at a large readership of professionals, students, and policy makers in political science, urban planning, and civil engineering.
