Introducing Forbes to Media Diversity
Harnessing social media to help Forbes become more aware of media diversity, especially to include the African-American and Latino community.
- Richard Prince notified me earlier today that Forbes list of 30 under 30 in media had no Blacks or Latinos. To help them become more aware, I asked folks on Twitter and Facebook to make some introductions. Here's the stream, minus the dozens and dozen retweets.Please let me know if I missed a tweet/introduction.
