Interesting that while the NYT talked about interviewing people of multiple races and genders, it didn't mention religion or age. All four are legally protected categories. Maybe the Times figures that race and gender are the only ones they would "know" on sight, though, if so, I'd question whether they were correct. Given the number of middle-aged people journalists who have lost jobs, I wonder if some outlets could find themselves on the wrong side of an age discrimination lawsuit.

Very detailed, great work!
