Liv Little says recruitment is improving but black people still overlooked for promotion

Women and non-binary people of colour.
Liv Little, who has overseen the site’s growth from a small blog platform to an increasingly influential media company, said outlets were getting better at hiring young staff from diverse backgrounds. However, many of these individuals were drifting away after being overlooked for promotions.
