Few non-whites show up in Reading Eagle's Business Weekly

The Reading Eagle’s Business Weekly is full of photos illustrating its stories and ads.

Reflecting Berks’ power structure and its lack of interest in presenting a diverse and welcoming image, only two of the 82 photos where I could judge ethnicity were non-white men, and each was in bank ads on pages 30 and 32.

Four of the photos were non-white women – two the same image of Luvleen Sidhu.


The answer is not to pad the edition with minorities. But does anybody at the Reading Eagle even consider this stuff?
