"Curbed's scale is broad and so is our perspective. We can only give context for the stories we tell about homes, neighborhoods, and cities if we provide a range of smart voices —€ which is why we're actively seeking candidates with a range of cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds as we continue to build our team in 2016."

"Hiring smartly, in terms of gender, race, interests, beliefs, and backgrounds isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the only way we can improve our coverage and grow our audience. I can’t imagine broadening our reach and our coverage if we don’t first diversify who’s creating our content and making significant editorial decisions."

"At their best, video games are insightful, bombastic, heart wrenching, inspiring. They demand smart criticism, diverse opinions, and deep storytelling about the people that make them. Polygon was founded on these principles, but didn't always reflect them. As both Polygon and our audience continues to grow, we aim to represent that culture at its fullest. By elevating diverse voices, we better serve both the people making games and the ones playing them."

"Racked covers an industry that's long suffered from a lack of diversity. Our ability to see that, investigate it, and try to make real change depends upon a team of varied perspectives and voices. We are actively working to make Racked the most inclusive fashion, shopping, and beauty brand in terms of both the team and our content by looking beyond the world of traditional fashion media."

"Recode has a long history of covering one of the most pressing issues plaguing tech — the lack of both gender and ethnic diversity in the ranks of an industry that stands for innovation and change. In truth, Silicon Valley has been less of a meritocracy than its denizens believe, and more of a 'mirrortocracy' — it reflects back too many of the same kinds of people. At our own company and at our events, we have tried hard to do better. And we’ve made progress over 14 years, but we can do better still. It is a commitment we adhere to, and one we take seriously."

"SB Nation is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all sports fans, regardless of race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. In 2015, we piloted new programs to increase our reach and embrace inclusion. Our women's summit, writer development program, and internship program are already directly responsible for more diverse bylines on our sites. Upcoming programs include additional summits and a mentorship program designed to pair young writers of underrepresented backgrounds with media veterans who can guide them throughout their careers. Recognizing we are not yet where we need to be, we have also taken steps to improve our recruiting efforts for positions at all levels. SB Nation strives to feature a variety of perspectives from our writers, editors, and our community members and wants our audience to feel that their viewpoints are both represented and respected."

"The Verge’s mission is to write about how ever-changing technology and culture are creating a new kind of future, and to do that well we have to have as many different voices on our staff as we can. We’ve made a concerted effort to recruit and hire women at every level of our staff over the past two years, and it’s paying off: our audience across all the platforms we publish on has gotten larger and more diverse."
