Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement

At Community Communications, Inc., d/b/a Central Florida Public Media, our mission is “to provide Central Florida with journalism and fact-based content that empower the community to better understand and participate in our diverse and complex world.” Our vision commits us to “lead the community conversation based on substantiated facts and respect for diverse perspectives.”

We define diversity in many ways, including race, gender, disability, geography, religious and ideological belief, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, education, professional experience, and socio-economic status.

We recognize that we have historically underserved parts of our Central Florida community. Our vision and strategic plan prioritize working with those communities to find ways we can fully live up to our commitment as a public media organization to understand and address the news and information needs of all Central Floridians.

Our efforts include:

  • Gatherings and outreach to ensure we are listening and responding to the needs and perspectives of different types of people and communities across the region we serve;
  • Civil dialogue initiatives to help ordinary Central Floridians converse with each other across differences and find common ground;
  • Building and nurturing genuine connections with the communities we serve to further the goal of creating and distributing content for and with those communities;
  • Increasing representation in our editorial content of voices that are not normally heard in the media and that authentically reflect our community;
  • Ensuring supportive, inclusive, equitable, innovative, and collaborative environments for our staff and Boards, which are committed to representing the communities we serve.
  • Striving for a diverse mix of candidates for staff and Board positions. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, sex, or other protected characteristics.

For more information on our commitment to journalism that serves all Central Floridians and a workplace that welcomes and supports all employees, please contact hr@cfpublic.org.
