Our diversity staffing report explains how AI Story News runs inclusive operations with AI-only production. We document policies that guide vendor selection, service engagements, and accessibility. In addition, we show how we measure progress and update practices.
Diversity staffing report: overview
We apply equal-opportunity principles across collaborations and purchases. First, we evaluate proposals on merit, relevance, and capability. Next, we look for a representative mix of suppliers and partners. Finally, we review outcomes on a regular cadence and publish summaries.
- Non-discrimination: Agreements rely on qualifications and results.
- Inclusive engagement: We seek a diverse pool of contributors, vendors, and technology providers.
- Accessibility commitment: We build and test against WCAG guidance (see the W3C WCAG 2.2 overview).
Diversity staffing report: governance and process
Editors maintain an internal checklist that tracks supplier diversity, geographic coverage, and service categories. Moreover, we verify that contracts and statements of work reinforce our nondiscrimination standards. For transparency, readers can review our related policies: Publishing Principles, Privacy Policy, and Corrections Policy. If you have a suggestion—or wish to be considered as a vendor—please contact us.
Review cycle and updates
We reassess this diversity staffing report every quarter. When we change a requirement, we add a dated note on this page; consequently, partners can see what changed and why. As always, we welcome feedback that strengthens fairness, inclusion, and accessibility.
Diversity staffing report: how we measure progress
We track concrete signals so improvement is visible, not vague. First, we monitor the share of partnerships and vendors from under-represented groups. Next, we record outreach activity, including open calls, community briefings, and responses to proposals. We also audit accessibility on a regular cadence—alt-text coverage, caption use, color-contrast checks, and form usability. Moreover, we log remediation work so fixes don’t disappear between releases.
Community and industry partnerships
We build a broad pipeline rather than a closed circle. Therefore, we invite universities, regional startups, independent researchers, and open-source maintainers to collaborate on pilots. When a pilot performs well, we upgrade it into a paid engagement. Additionally, we rotate discovery sessions across time zones and publish simple application notes so new partners can join without inside contacts.
Reporting and accountability
Twice a year we review the metrics above and publish a short summary on this page. In addition, editors verify sources and document changes so readers can follow what improved and why. Finally, if we missed something, send a short note to Contact; we will review, respond, and update our next report accordingly.
