On Wednesday, Chloe Angyal, deputy opinion editor of The Huffington Post, triumphantly tweeted out the demographics of those they had published. Here’s the breakdown:
Month two of @HuffPost Opinion is almost done. This month we published: 63% women, inc. trans women; 53% writers of colour.

Our goals for this month were: less than 50% white authors (check!), Asian representation that matches or exceeds the US population (check!), more trans and non-binary authors (check, but I want to do better).

We also wanted to raise Latinx representation to match or exceed the US population. We didn't achieve that goal, but we're moving firmly in the right direction.

I check our numbers at the end of every week, because it's easy to lose track or imagine you're doing better than you really are, and the numbers don't lie.

If Angyal ran the publishing department at Harper Collins, she’d apparently be sure to dump the reprints of virtually every major Western author in history in favor of a series of Laverne Cox memoirs. For diversity, naturally. – READ MORE
