Dotdash Meredith brands are committed to anti-racism, building diverse teams, and producing inclusive content. Each brand has made a public Diversity & Inclusion Pledge. Dotdash Meredith’s Anti-Bias Review Board reviews content and image across the company. They’re educators, advocates, public health specialists, journalists, researchers, financial experts, and other professionals, each with a background in supporting diversity, inclusion, and racial justice initiatives. The Anti-Bias Review Board uses their research, expertise and judgment to advise Dotdash Meredith brands on language, images, themes, and tone.
