Diversity Policy

NewsFormal believes business news should reflect the whole economy, not just the loudest corner of it. This policy describes how that belief shapes our coverage and our team.

1. Our Commitment

We aim for coverage that is open to different regions, sectors, company sizes and perspectives, and for a team and contributor base that reflects the readers we serve.

2. Diversity in Coverage

• We draw on sources from a wide range of publishers and countries, not only the largest financial outlets.
• We cover small and mid-sized businesses, emerging markets and under-reported sectors alongside large-cap and headline stories.
• On contested issues we include more than one view and more than one voice.
• We avoid stereotypes in text and imagery and use precise, respectful language when describing people, communities and countries.

3. Diversity in Our Team

We welcome editors and contributors regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation or disability, and we apply the same fair and objective criteria to everyone who works with us.

4. Awareness

Editors are expected to stay informed about cultural sensitivity and inclusive language, and our editorial guidelines and AI prompts are reviewed with that in mind.

5. Listening to Readers

If you believe our coverage has overlooked a community, sector or perspective, or has described one unfairly, tell us at [email protected]. Such feedback is reviewed under our Actionable Feedback Policy.

6. Continuous Review

This policy is reviewed regularly, and our coverage mix is checked against it, so that our commitment to diversity is measured rather than merely stated.
