(2003-08-01) — The official racial-slur count at Reuters news group rose again today as another employee of Radianz, Reuters internet subsidiary, received a so-called “racist email,” depicting a black person in a degrading situation.
Despite optimistic predictions of great strides in so-called “civil rights” from Reuters executives, racial tensions have grown in many of its offices worldwide.
“It’s a quagmire of racial hatred,” said one unnamed Reuters staffer. “And our leaders are still in denial, or perhaps actually lying about the real situation on the ground here.”
One employee was fired and three others face disciplinary action, according to a company spokeswoman. Yet, despite these three fallen comrades, the source “absolutely denies any and all allegations that [Reuters] engages in or tolerates discriminatory workplace practices of any kind.“
Bill Keller, executive editor for The New York Times, called on Reuters to work in conjunction with the United Nations to appoint an “employee representative” to hold it more accountable.
