Find diverse experts with ease |
The Diverse Sources Database — NPR's resource for journalists seeking experts from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in the media — has relaunched! Previously known as Source of the Week, the site has a new design, an improved search and other sweet new features. Here's what you can expect, whether you're a seasoned source-seeker or a newbie: - Every one of the 400-something sources has been verified and, if needed, updated;
- Search "law" (for example) and get a link to the overall law category, links to all law subcategories (tribal, environmental, etc.) and a list of law-related individuals sorted by relevance;
- Search results show a source's picture, date added/updated, location and general subject areas, plus a blurb, so you can easily scan for what you need;
- The homepage shows the week's featured source, plus a rotation of experts on newsy topics;
- It's part of the NPR Training site, so when you want to learn about ledes or mics, just click on Training in the nav bar.
