TVNewsCheck‘s Michael Depp talks with Marcus Riley, senior director of content strategy and inclusive journalism at E.W. Scripps, about what inclusivity looks like on a newscast and how newsrooms can begin addressing it right from a story pitch.
Marcus Riley, senior director of content strategy for Scripps Local Media’s northern region, has added “inclusive journalism” to his title, with a charter to oversee the company’s effort “to place more emphasis on inclusive journalism and representing all sectors of our audience in our newsrooms,” according to Sean McLaughnlin, VP of news for local media.
The station group moves him up from digital director and editorial director at WTMJ, Scripps’ NBC affiliate in Milwaukee, to work with newsroom leaders in nine of Scripps’ local TV markets to implement, evaluate, measure and refine the company’s local content strategy.
